As every Mercedes-Benz model, the S-Class will too be offered as a die-cast model car for collectors. The scale car will customary be offered in three different sizes: 1:87, 1:43 and 1:18, and be basically manufactured by world-leading automotive miniature producers such as Herpa and Norev.

These photos depict the mini-sized S-Class in 1:18 scale built by Norev and comes to offer another preview for the soon-to-be-officially-unveiled Mercedes-Benz luxury flagship. For the time being, this is closest you can digitally get to the new S-Class, but it will not be any surprise as most likely know the way the 222 model series looks like from the preceding leaks.

All doors and lids can be opened and the interior features high-quality printing. Utmost attention to detail also in the paintwork, in the original colours: the die-cast zinc model car is available for 69.90 euros[1] in the colours designo patagonia red metallic BRIGHT, designo polar silver magno and cirrus white. The CLA is packaged in a Mercedes-Benz gift box.

A size smaller is the 1:43 scale CLA which Schuco manually produces for Mercedes-Benz from over 50 individual parts. Further features of the die-cast zinc model include high-quality printing in the interior and paintwork in the original colours (cosmos black, mountain grey or universe blue). This CLA also is delivered in a Mercedes-Benz gift box and costs 29.90 euros.

The model cars are available from the Mercedes-Benz sales partners.
