Description from the seller
Mercedes-Benz S550 W221 – 2008 – 5.5 V8 – Obsidian Black Metallic – Night View Assist – Dynamic Multicontour – Well equipped
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has for decades been among the most prestigious and technologically advanced luxury cars in the world. The model is known for its exceptional comfort, high-quality finish, and innovative safety features. Many technologies that later became common in the automotive industry were first applied on a large scale in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
In 2005, Mercedes-Benz introduced the W221 generation, the successor to the W220. This generation represented a significant step forward in design, safety, comfort, and technology. With its powerful body lines, characteristic wide grille, generous interior dimensions, and advanced electronic systems, the W221 grew into one of the most valued modern S-Class generations.
The Mercedes-Benz S550 offered here from 2008 is equipped with the impressive naturally aspirated 5.5-liter M273 V8 engine, delivering 382 American horsepower (388 European hp), paired with the comfortable 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic.
The American S550 features the long wheelbase of the W221 generation, comparable to the European S500 Long. This gives the car particularly generous legroom for rear passengers and an exceptionally high level of comfort.
What makes this example particularly attractive is the extensive factory equipment with several luxurious and technology options.
The car is finished in the handsome Obsidian Black Metallic color (197U), combined with an exclusive Savanna/Cashmere leather interior in a warm brown tint and beautiful Walnut wood trim.
One of the main extras is the original Premium 2 Package (P02), which at the time added $2,860. This package includes ventilated and heated front seats, power-operated tailgate, PARKTRONIC, and the comfortable KEYLESS-GO system.
In addition, the car has the highly sought-after Drive-Dynamic Multicontour front seats (option code 432), originally a factory option of $1,820. These advanced seats offer extensive adjustment options, active lateral support, and a massage function.
Another exclusive feature is Night View Assist (610), which at the time represented a premium of $1,795. This innovative night vision system uses infrared technology to enhance visibility on dark roads.
The original rear-view camera (218) was also ordered separately, with an original premium price of $750.
For extra privacy and rear passenger comfort, the car also features electrically operated sunshades in the rear doors (297), at the time a $710 option, complemented by the electric rear window sunshade.
The stylish 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels with chrome finish (R67) represented a premium of $1,010 when new.
The original iPod Integration Kit (057), originally a $425 accessory, is also part of the comprehensive equipment.
The total value of these additional factory and accessory options amounted to $9,370.
The original U.S. base price of the Mercedes-Benz S550 in 2008 was $86,700. Including the mentioned extras, the American gas guzzler tax of $1,300 and the original shipping costs of $795, the total new price came to $98,165.
For comparison: the corresponding Mercedes-Benz S500 Long had in the Netherlands in 2008 a base price of about €138,500, excluding additional options. A similarly richly equipped example thus represented a Dutch catalog value of around €150,000.
The combination of the powerful V8 engine, the long wheelbase, the advanced AIRMATIC suspension, and the extensive comfort features makes this S550 a particularly luxurious limousine.
Especially the presence of Night View Assist, the active multicontour seats, the extensive shading, the high-quality Harman Kardon audio system, and the original COMAND navigation underline the exclusive character of this specimen.
EXTERIOR:
This Mercedes-Benz S550 presents itself as a neat and well-kept car with a particularly elegant appearance. The paint in the original Obsidian Black Metallic color (197U) is in good condition and gives the large bodywork a stylish and representative look.
Obsidian Black Metallic is a deep black metallic color in which subtle metallic pigments are visible depending on the light. This color fits perfectly with the luxurious and timeless character of the S-Class.
The W221 stands out with its powerful styling, featuring a prominent Mercedes-Benz grille, long hood, wide wheel arches, and elegant chrome accents.
The black paint gives the body a nice gloss. As is typical for a car of this age and mileage, local light signs of wear may be present.
An important part of the appearance are the original 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels with chrome finish. These expensive factory options represented a premium of $1,010 at the time of purchase.
The wheels are paired with wide tires in the original size 255/45 R18, which suits the comfortable driving behavior of the S550 very well.
The front features advanced Bi-Xenon headlights with Active Curve Illumination, automatic height adjustment, and headlight washers.
The adaptive lighting system adjusts the beam to the driving direction, contributing to better visibility during nighttime driving.
In addition, the car has halogen fog lights at the front and a rear fog light.
The electrically adjustable exterior mirrors are heated and electrically foldable. They feature integrated LED indicators, a memory function, and an auto-dimming driver’s mirror.
When reversing, the right exterior mirror can automatically move to a lower position to improve visibility when parking.
The windows are also specially treated. The car has heat-insulating and infrared-reflective safety glass with extra sound insulation, further highlighting the high comfort level of the S-Class.
The electrically operable glass sunroof/sliding roof is a stylish addition to the luxurious equipment and provides extra light into the interior.
Further, the car has rain sensors, heated windshield wipers, and electrically operated windows.
The original PARKTRONIC parking sensors and rearview camera make maneuvering this large limousine considerably easier.
At the rear, broad taillights, subtle chrome trim, and the characteristic Mercedes-Benz design give an elegant look.
TECHNICAL:
Under the hood lies the powerful and smooth-running Mercedes-Benz M273 5.5-liter V8.
This naturally aspirated eight-cylinder engine has a displacement of 5,461 cc and features 32 valves, double overhead camshafts, variable valve timing, and electronically controlled sequential fuel injection.
The engine delivers 382 American horsepower, corresponding to 388 European hp, at 6,000 rpm. Maximum torque is 530 Nm and is available over a wide rpm range.
A key feature of this engine is its naturally aspirated power output. Unlike modern turbo engines, the M273 does not have a turbocharger or compressor, which is why the engine is known for its immediate throttle response, smooth power delivery, and refined V8 sound.
Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via the original 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic.
This electronically controlled transmission features adaptive shift logic and TouchShift, allowing the driver to manually select gears if desired.
A major technical highlight of the W221 is the AIRMATIC suspension with ADS II adaptive damping.
This system combines air suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers and automatic leveling. It continuously adjusts ride comfort and stability to the driving conditions.
The air suspension provides the exceptionally comfortable ride for which the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is known.
The suspension is fully independent, with a four-link front suspension and a five-link rear suspension. Speed-sensitive power steering contributes to comfortable and precise handling.
The braking system consists of large discs, with drilled and ventilated discs at the front and ventilated discs at the rear.
In addition, the car features ABS, Brake Assist, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), and Automatic Slip Reduction (ASR).
In terms of safety, the W221 was also ahead of its time.
The car includes, among other things, the PRE-SAFE system, which can take preventive safety measures under certain critical driving conditions.
Furthermore, the S550 is equipped with front airbags with multi-stage activation, side airbags for and against, curtain airbags, seat belts with pretensioners and force limiters, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
One of the most important technological extras is Night View Assist. This system uses infrared illumination and a camera to display an additional view of the road on the instrument panel in dark conditions.
This technology was highly advanced in 2008 and was mainly offered in the top tier of Mercedes-Benz.
The combination of the powerful V8, the refined seven-speed automatic, the AIRMATIC suspension, and the extensive safety technology makes this S550 a particularly comfortable and technically impressive luxury car.
Current odometer: 140,951 miles.
INTERIOR:
The interior of this Mercedes-Benz S550 is exceptionally luxurious and forms one of the most attractive features of the car.
The combination of warm Savanna/Cashmere leather upholstery, splendid Walnut wood, and the high-quality Mercedes-Benz finishes gives the interior an exclusive and classic look.
The original interior code is 204A, brown leather, as confirmed by the Mercedes-Benz factory data card.
The front seats are power-adjustable and have a memory function, allowing the desired seating position to be stored.
Thanks to the original Premium 2 Package, the front seats also have heating and active ventilation.

These advanced seats feature active side bolsters and extensive adjustment options, allowing support to be tailored while driving. In addition, they are equipped with a massage function, which is especially pleasant on longer trips.
The dashboard is finished with high-quality materials and features the distinctive wood trim in burl walnut veneer.
In the center sits the original Mercedes-Benz COMAND APS system with navigation, DVD functionality, Bluetooth telephony, and extensive multimedia features.
The car is equipped with the particularly high-quality Harman Kardon LOGIC7 Premium Sound System of 600 watts, with digital surround sound, a built-in six-disc CD changer, MP3 support, and a multi-channel amplifier.
Also included are SIRIUS satellite radio, a PCMCIA memory card slot, and the original iPod Integration Kit.
The audio system was at the time one of the most advanced installations Mercedes-Benz offered in a luxury limousine.
The automatic climate control provides separate temperature settings for the driver and front passenger and additional climate features for the interior.
rear passengers also enjoy a particularly high level of comfort.
Thanks to the long wheelbase, the car offers ample legroom and the rear seats feature comfortable headrests and a high-quality leather finish.
The electrically operated sun shades in the rear doors represent an original premium of $710 and provide extra privacy and protection against direct sunlight.
In addition, the car has an electrically operable sunshade for the rear window.
Other luxury features include the auto-dimming interior mirror, electrically adjustable and foldable exterior mirrors, ambient lighting, illuminated vanity mirrors, reading lights for front and rear, and an integrated HomeLink garage door opener.
