This edition of VAR features the Mercedes Benz S 550
Model tested was a white 4-door and tan leather interior accented with dark laminated wood trim. Buttons and switches were brushed aluminum.
A fairly impressive computer flat-screen displayed time, temperature, and radio station.
A 4-valve V8 mated to a ?-speed automatic provides motion to all four wheels with an in-house engineered all-wheel-drive system (MB previous AWD version of 4matic was subcontracted from an outside supplier).
Also, some form of active suspension is available on this model: From the top of each shock tower leads a pneumatic or hydraulic hose leading to a pressurized resevoir out of sight.
