This opulent, understated sedan was favored by heads of state, businessmen, and crime bosses alike. To this day, it remains embedded in automotive history as one of the most ridiculously over-engineered luxury cars ever. Can you name this luxury barge?

Known to the enthusiasts as the W140, this generation of the Mercedes S-Class brought more design and engineering innovations that we can count: parking sensors, double-paned windows, Electronic Stability Control, and so on. Mercedes spared no expense when developing this car, and the customers had to spare no expense if they wanted to get their hands on one - especially the flagship S600, powered by a 6.0l V12. By the end of its production in '98, the S600 retailed for over $200,000 in 2020 dollars.
