One of the vehicles running under the Mercedes Benz name and brand is the 2007 S-Class. This vehicle is the ninth generation Mercedes Benz S-Class and it has gone through more than just a simple luxury upgrade. This vehicle sports a Brake Assist Plus system that uses long-range and short-range radar that facilitates and helps out in anticipating and avoiding the much dreaded collisions, or at the very least lessen the severity of a crash. This feature does this by automatically braking with full force even if the driver does not stomp on the brake hard enough to stomp in time. This vehicle is also claimed to be able to see and look around at night. This is due to the Night View Assist feature that has the ability to shine infrared beams down the road so as to illuminate hazards that are beyond the reach of the Mercedes Benz S-Class' headlights. There is a special camera mounted on the rearview mirrors that can read the infrared. This transforms the data to a simple language that shows the driver a crisp and clear image of what is right ahead. This data is shown on an eight-inch LCD screen that is installed in the instrument panel of the vehicle. The S-Class also runs and is powered by a 5.5 liter V8 engine that has the capacity to produce 382 horsepower and 391 pound feet of torque. This power is adequate enough to be able to make the sedan fly to 62 mph in just 5.4 seconds.
