The 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 580 is the most luxurious sedan on the market today. It’s got all the right styling, comfort, safety, and convenience that you expect from an S-Class sedan.

Mercedes-Benz S 580 Engine and Performance

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz S 580 is powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 engine with EQ Boost, meaning that it’s paired to a system of integrated starter-generators and a 48-volt electrical system. The 48V EQ Boost lends an extra 21 hp and 184 lb.-ft. of torque, causing the 2021 S 580 to crank out an impressive 496 hp and 516 lb.-ft. of torque. 

The V-8 drivetrain is mated to a 9-speed 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission, which you can see in the picture, and features Mercedes’ revolutionary 4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive system.

Acceleration and Top Speed

The impressive power and torque figures mean that the S 580 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds, which is pretty impressive for a luxury sedan that weighs well over 4,775 pounds.

In terms of top speed, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 580 has the potential to achieve a max speed of up to 155 mph, although its top speed has been electronically limited to 130 mph for safety reasons.
