This NEW S-Class V8 Proves Mercedes Was WRONG About EVs
Everyone told me the V8 was dead, but sitting here in the new S-Class, I am not so sure. Mercedes-Benz has delivered a radical redesign for 2026, and at the heart of this AMG machine lies a 9000 RPM flat-plane crank V8 that feels like an apology to loyal fans. I wanted to understand why they did it, so I took this modern flagship and pitted its story against the legendary 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K. This is the most extensive facelift in the history of the S-Class. We are diving into the financial pressure on Mercedes, the shift away from electric-only mandates, and what happens when heritage meets the reality of modern engineering. Is this the last tuxedo for the internal combustion engine? Grab a cup, settle in, and let's talk about what is going to affect motorists today and why this engine matters more than the badge on the hood. & this is @Mrwhosetheboss Great vid on their history: • I Tested 140 Years of Cars!
