2001 Mercedes-Benz S600 Designo Silver Edition

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

“Crafted for those who demand the extraordinary.” The 2001 Mercedes-Benz S600 Designo was a pinnacle of luxury and performance in the W220 S-Class lineup. As the flagship sedan, the S600 featured a hand-assembled 5.8-liter V12 engine producing 362 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque, paired with a five-speed Touch-Shift automatic transmission. This powertrain delivered jet-smooth, effortless acceleration and a refined driving experience.

The Designo Edition elevated the S600’s exclusivity with bespoke interior and exterior treatments. Offered in limited colors, it included premium materials such as special leather upholstery, unique wood trim, and custom stitching. These enhancements were part of Mercedes-Benz’s Designo customization program, aimed at discerning buyers seeking individuality and craftsmanship.

Technologically advanced for its time, the S600 came equipped with Active Body Control (ABC) hydraulic suspension, ventilated and massaging seats, and a COMAND infotainment system. Safety was paramount, with features like side curtain airbags, electronic stability control, and adaptive cruise control.

This Texas-based S600 is finished in Designo Silver Metallic over Exclusive Helios Leather, with Curled Maple wood trim and was most-recently serviced in August 2025.
