Four years after the debut of the ’Energy Concept’, the model range underwent extensive refinements, and so in September 1985, again at the Frankfurt show, a completely revised S-Class range was introduced. The most spectacular innovation in the engine range was a eight-cylinder unit, which was developed by lengthening the stroke of the V8 and which unleashed an output of 272 hp. If required, an even more highly compressed version was also available that delivered a mighty 300 hp, although it was not possible to combine this unit with a closed-loop emission control system.
