At only 1,500 rpm,repparttar 140890 new V6 already develops 87 percent of its maximum torque. E class models haverepparttar 140891 hood, front fenders, trunk lid, and suspension sub frames are aluminum, as are numerous suspension pieces. There is increased structural use of high-strength steel as well. The design and construction helpsrepparttar 140892 ride comfort and handling of all E-Class models, butrepparttar 140893 E500 and E55AMG have a special trick as standard equipment - Airmatic DC (Dual Control) semi-active air suspension, derived from that used inrepparttar 140894 premium S-Class. The air springs and shock absorbers use electronic sensors and computer-controlled actuation to match suspension response to road conditions, driving style, and cornering force.The E350 and E500 rear-drive models come equipped withrepparttar 140895 world’s first seven-speed automatic transmission. The seven-speed transmission improves acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h by up to 0.3 seconds and allows significantly quicker acceleration in highway passing situations. Atrepparttar 140896 same time, shifting is even smoother than withrepparttar 140897 previous five-speed.

The combination of electric drive withrepparttar 7G-Tronic automatic transmission ensures thatrepparttar 140881 S-Class "Hybrid" constantly operates atrepparttar 140882 optimum level. "This reduces fuel consumption by 15 to 25 percent depending onrepparttar 140883 driving cycle, while atrepparttar 140884 same time enhancing comfort," says Prof. Herbert Kohler, Head ofrepparttar 140885 Vehicle Body and Drive Systems Directorate at DaimlerChrysler AG.

The hybrid concept is based onrepparttar 140890 7G-Tronic automatic transmission in combination withrepparttar 140891 P1/2 hybrid transmission, which thanks to its compact dimensions does not restrict interior space.

"The use ofrepparttar 140892 7G-Tronic automatic transmission makes for a comfort level that is unique inrepparttar 140893 world of hybrids," emphasized Weber. "Shifting is even faster and more convenient in continuously variable mode." Setting a new record for cars with hybrid drive system,repparttar 140894 S Class has a maximum output of 340 horsepower. The two electric motors have a combined output of 70 horsepower. The diesel can be started at any time without transition, independently of driving mode. The V8 diesel engine rechargesrepparttar 140895 battery whilerepparttar 140896 vehicle is in motion while energy is recovered during braking.
