Spy shots: Mercedes Benz S-Class facelift with LED headlights

The current generation Mercedes Benz S Class has been on the market since 2005 and is due to receive a minor update next year to keep it fresh for its rivalry with the all-new BMW 7-series on sale at the end of the year and next-generation Audi A8 arriving in 2010. Recent prototypes seen testing in Germany and the United States reveal that the only major exterior updates for the car are a set of new bumpers and a revised combination projector/LED design for the headlights, which were previously obscured by camouflage. Mercedes plans to launch an array of new technologies in both the facelifted S-Class and the next-generation E-Class range. 2010 Mercedes-Benz S-Class facelift spy shots
