Mercedes S 400 Hybrid
Blue Mercedes S 400 Hybrid
Mercedes is its first hybrid S 400 in one place, expected in June 2009 on the market will come. In addition to the familiar 3.5-liter V6 petrol engine with 279 hp power is still an electric motor under the hood, between the engine and the seven-stage automatic transmission is installed.
The 20 hp electric motor is not responsible for the operation alone, but only supports the gasoline in the acceleration phases, what the fuel consumption but still reduces by 22 percent.
Even the new start-stop automatic braking and energy recovery of the hybrid module helps the thirst of the flagship continues to reduce.
Mercedes provides the fuel consumption of the S 400 hybrid Blue at 7.9 instead of the previous 10.2 liters. Would be possible even after the introduction of the 4-cylinder with hybrid module to equip what the consumption again to 6.5 liters would press.
