1 Answers
The length, width, and height dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz S600 are 5230 mm, 1871 mm, and 1485 mm respectively, which are official data. The length of the Mercedes-Benz S600 refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle's supporting plane. The Mercedes-Benz S600 is the top model of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, equipped with a new V12 engine with a displacement of 5.5 liters. The S600 is only available in the long-wheelbase version. This new V12 engine retains the traditional 60-degree cylinder angle but has no other similarities with its predecessor. There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, the significance of vehicle width data in the national standard is to ensure enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, the national standard stipulates that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5 meters to meet the requirements of public road usage.
