Mercedes-Benz's 'Aesthetic S' concept will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show later this month.

The concept is designed to provide a glimpse of what the new S-Class will look like when it arrives next year, and features a silhouette of the car enhanced with a special lights display, which is designed to highlight key parts of the new model.

Now normally we wouldn't waste your time covering the pretentious affectations of one of the world's leading car manufacturers; however, the new S-Class should be just about the most important car to be released next year.

You see, the S-Class is renowned for its technical innovation, and the best way to judge what features will be available on your Mondeo in 2016 is to look at Merc's new flagship.

Mercedes has revealed very little about the new S-Class's equipment; but we can tell you that one of the car's key highlights will be 'Magic Body Control', a system which scans the road ahead for bumps and ruts, and adjusts the suspension accordingly, making for an ultra-smooth ride.

The S-Class will be available with petrol, diesel and hybrid engines and will also be offered as a coupe, in the form of the CL-Class.

Mercedes will reveal more details on the S-Class closer to launch, and we'll keep you updated with further developments.
