In what must be the ultimate extravagance, Mercedes-Benz S Class models will have a liquid perfume dispenser among its offerings of high-tech devices and fittings. Similar to the liquid deodorant dispensers in the local loo, this item fills the cabin with your chosen odor from an electronic fitting in the glove-box.
According to a Mercedes spokeswoman in Stuttgart you can have whatever smell you want (for a price of course). “Old Money” might be appropriate!
However, the (non)essential extra items include a hot stone massager in the back seats. Built in consultation with aromatherapists and psychologists, it uses the seat’s 14 separately-activated air bladders with the seat heating function.
M-B S Class.
Even the armrests in an interior designed to suggest a luxury jet cabin or six star hotel suite are heated so the skin is not insulted by cold leather. Make that a delete option for Thailand’s tropical weather!
M-B S Class lets you remain fully wired with a cloud system, which integrates Facebook, Google Street View, and Google searches for local points of interest through a mouse. These can be surveyed from rear seats and the driver, or chauffeur, can view his instruments and infotainment system via two laptop size information displays.
According to the factory, a new S Class only comes every 10 years and is the vehicle in which they introduce the new technologies. Mercedes spokesman Michael Allner said these luxuries would filter down to affordable cars in the range over the next decade.
Just remembered that my Daihatsu Mira smells of dead socks after the rain. Perhaps I should consider it a luxury!
