Powertrain Options and Availability
Only two engines were available in 2000. In the S430 sedan, a 4.3-liter V8 made 275 horsepower, while the S500 got a 302-hp, 5.0-liter V8. For 2001, the new S600 got a 5.8-liter V12 with a 362-hp rating. The high-performance S55 AMG, also added for 2001, held a 354-horsepower, 5.4-liter V8 engine. In 2003 Mercedes supercharged the 5.4 to 493 horsepower. The V12 shrunk to 5.5 liters, but with the help of a supercharger it also made 493 horsepower and whopping 590 pounds-feet of torque. Initially, all engines worked with a 5-speed automatic transmission. A 7-speed automatic was added as an option to the 4.3- and 5.0-liter V8s in 2004. For 2006, a new base sedan with a 241-hp V6 joins the roster.
