2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class With On-Screen Debut [VIDEO]

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S550 is the first of the new-generation S-Class model line which hits the U.S. showrooms today. In addition, it makes an on-screen debut as a part of an integrated marketing launch.

The vehicle is undoubtedly a benchmark in the luxury sedans, but it also adds many exclusive features such as hot-stone massage and at the same time provides one of the most sophisticated accident-avoidance technologies.

The marketing campaign includes two TV spots. The first one is called “Four Words” and it explores the origins of the company’s storied tagline “The Best or Nothing”. The video goes back in time through the 127-year history of Mercedes-Benz, and begins with the Gottlieb Daimler’s garage, where the very first automobile was made.

The advertisement then reviews the historic Silver Arrow race cars inside the Mercedes-Benz museum in Stuttgart, and more importantly, the ad conveys how those four simple words written by the founder have challenged Mercedes-Benz to “inspire, provoke and push”. The end of the ad shows the new 2014 S-Class as the logical development of the entire history and philosophy of the brand.

Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG vs Yamaha R1 at 300 km/h [video]

Nothing is more fun… and dangerous than going on public roads with 300 km/h. Obviously the second part doesn’t bother these two drivers (pilots), who “fly” over two minutes on 2-lane public road with speeds between 250 and 300 km/h. The Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG even do a lot more, because when the biker hits 299 km/h and think he will catch the car, the sports roadster shoots forward fast.

The video is taken from the Yamaha R1 biker’s helmet somewhere in Sweden. Hopefully no accidents happen during this insane race.

Experienced bikers comment that the R1 can’t pass 280 km/h (real speed), but who cares?! The speed limit is 90 km/h, so going so fast in 2-lane road is outrageous.

Of course, Mercedes’ fans will love this video, but we STRONGLY recommend: Do not do that!

Mercedes-Benz S-Class: Magic Body Control [VIDEO]

The new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class has made its debut a few weeks ago and now the luxury brand is beginning its advertising campaign. On its YouTube Channel, called MercedesBenzTV, it has released a very creative video which promotes the Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive MAGIC BODY CONTROL found in the new S-Class. This is a world’s first suspension system which ensures optimum driving comfort by using “eyes”.

ROAD SURFACE SCAN technology detects road surface’s undulations in advance by the means of the stereo camera in the windscreen. Then the MAGIC BODY CONTROL sets up the active suspension in order to deal with the situation. This new technology is based on the ABC (Active Body Control) suspension and includes an active suspension that enhances both comfort and driving dynamics.

The new advertisement however, does not show the S-Class, but surprisingly – it is all about chickens. And to be honest, it is one of the most creative and eccentric ads I have ever seen! I’m sure that everyone will love it and it is undoubtedly worth the attention. You can view the video below:
