The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a series of full-size luxury sedans, limousines and armored sedans produced by the German automaker Mercedes-Benz. The S-Class is the designation for the top of the line Mercedes-Benz models and was officially introduced in 1972, and has remained in use ever since. The S-Class is the flagship vehicle for Mercedes-Benz. The 2017 Mercedes-Bens S550 had a beginning MSRP of $119,000. The S-Class has debuted many of the company's greatest innovations, including drivetrain technologies, interior features, and safety systems (such as the first seatbelt pretensioners). The S-Class has ranked as the world's best-selling luxury sedan. As of 2020, six generations of officially named S-Class sedans have been produced. The sixth generation is the model featured in The Torrence Collection. Unveiled in May 2013, the sixth generation S-Class had a more streamlined appearance than the outgoing model. Some interesting features include a large front grille inspired by the F700 Concept car and LED lights used exclusively inside and out. A first in the automotive industry. Two strong converging character lines give the flanks a more sculpted look, while integrated exhaust tips and a large glass roof accentuated the new design.

Inside, almost every surface is covered by a "luxury" material, everything that looks like leather is genuine leather and metal is used rather than any plastic alternative. The S-Class cabin is beautiful, with stunning details, and the exterior is inspired and elegant. The instrument cluster consists entirely of two widescreens LCD displays with great animated graphics. The S-Class made available Magic Body Control, consisting of a windshield mounted stereo cameras that can 'read' the road ahead (Road Surface Scan) and communicate with the Active Body Control suspension to ready it for an uneven road surface. Available luxury appointments offered in the S-Class included a choice of massage type for each seat occupant and two levels of premium audio from the luxury German brand, Burmester. The S-Class has driver assistance systems aboard that allow it to steer a course within a lane and follow a leading vehicle for a short period (Distronic Plus with Steering Assist, also called traffic jam assistant). It will also slow or come to a dead stop and accelerate in response to traffic ahead. The S-Class was powered by a extremely powerful twin turbo V8 producing 455 hp. and a 7-speed automatic transmission.
