The Mercedes-Benz S 560 was a rear wheel drive variant of the W222 S-Class Sedan that debuted for the 2018 model year. The S560 known as the S500 and S550, was powered by Mercedes' M176 DE 40 AL engine, which was a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with 463hp and 516 lb ft of torque. Drive from the engine was sent to the rear wheels through a 9 speed automatic transmission. The Mercedes-Benz S560 was in production until 2020, when Mercedes introduced the next generation W223 S-Class.
