This Mercedes-Benz S 500, the "S" for Sonderklasse-the marque's flagship luxury offering-is a W220-generation model year 2000, originally equipped with the 5.0-liter M113 V8 paired with an automatic transmission intended for the U.S. market. Entrusted to Brabus, it benefits from an enhanced engine featuring a custom crankshaft, larger pistons, increased displacement to 5.8 liters, flow-optimized cylinder heads and custom camshafts, as well as a stainless-steel sports exhaust system, a reprogrammed ECU, a revised front bumper with integrated high beams, upgraded brakes, a Brabus badge, and Brabus alloy wheels.
First registered in California in 2000, the car is finished in Obsidian Black with a Black leather interior and is richly equipped both as standard and with options, as detailed in the file. Notable comfort features include heated and cooled front seats, power-adjustable rear seats, four-zone climate control, xenon headlights, an electric tilt/slide glass sunroof, an electrically operated rear window roller blind, and a memory package (driver seat, steering column, mirrors).
Its clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report documents an original sale by Mercedes-Benz of Anaheim, California, which serviced the car through 2004, followed by Mercedes-Benz of Long Beach; thereafter, Mercedes-Benz Certified workshop Murray Motor Imports in Denver, Colorado in 2005 and 2006, and Mercedes Center Fletcher Jones Motorcars in California through 2009.
With only 77,572 miles on the odometer at the time of cataloging and offered with its tools, factory manuals and a clean Carfax, this Brabus-enhanced Sonderklasse represents both a collectible modern classic and an elegant opportunity to enjoy a powerful, refined luxury sedan.
