More Mercedes-Benz S 400 hybrid details leak out

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

First revealed back in September of last year, Mercedes-Benz’s S 400 hybrid vehicle has been a much sought after vehicle. Today we are proud to announce that we have gotten our hands on some more details regarding the car.

We now know that the S 400 will feature a lithuim-ion battery that will power the car’s 15 kW electric motor. Don’t worry though as it will be paired with a 279HP 3.5-liter V6 engine for added power. Together, this combination is said to provide up to 385 Nm of torque and make for a top speed of 250 km/m. Furthermore, the S 400 is said to get around 30 mph which is none to bad for a car of this stature.

If reports back in February stay true, we shall see the Mercedes-Benz S 400 hybrid later this summer.
