Mercedes accidentally publishes the first 2014 Mercedes S-Class photo

The image has since been removed, but not before it escaped in to the wild to give us our first official view of the new S Class, a car which has always set new standards in equipment and safety with each new launch, and the 2014 S Class will be no different.

What will be different is the range of models we expect to arrive in the next few years, from standard and long wheelbase S Class through an S Class Coupe, S Class Convertible and a super-luxury S Class Pullman, which will effectively replace Mercedes’ failed Maybach adventure.

The new S Class looks less bulbous than its current incarnation, with the bulging rear wheel arches gone and a slimmer look all round. This particular S Class looks like it has a few AMG styling options and the design is clearly new, although there’s no denying this is very much a new S Class.

We already knew that Mercedes had made a great job of the interior on the new S Class - because they showed us – and they do look to have done an equally good job of bringing the now seven year old S Class up to date.

We’ll have full details of the new S Class on 15th May – unless someone in Mercedes’ web team has a slip of the mouse before.
