2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class prototype in Dubai
This prototype Mercedes-Benz was caught refuelling at a petrol station in Dubai. Mercedes-Benz prototypes have become a common fixture on roads in the UAE for hot-weather testing, which is probably a good thing considering how “well” European cars fair in the Middle East climate.
Our reader, Ameen Hassan, sent in these photos. He believes it is the next-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and it certainly looks like that. No other details are available at this point, except that the new model will have more fuel-efficient engines, likely with extensive use of turbo technology.
Another reader, Pradeep Koppal, caught this shot of the same camouflaged S-Class near the Mercedes-Benz Middle East headquarters in Dubai.

So, I was a fool to say the camouflaged Merc I saw was 2013 CLC. 😛

I think there are many future Mercs going around.

Present days of UAE are best for heat test.

You may still be right .. It could be a CLC judging by the top most picture, which really makes the car look like a compact saloon rather than a full sized saloon.

I think its still early to release a new S-class.. This is a once in a decade product that introduces years of R&D..
UAE
When will it be released and how much will it cost? Any ideas
