2015 S500 Hybrid Plug-in by Mercedes Benz

The plug-in hybrid S-Class is powered by a 328-horsepower, turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 gasoline engine and an 80-kW (107-hp) electric motor sandwiched between the engine and an adapted version of the company’s eight-speed automatic transmission.

New S 500 PLUG-IN HYBRID: The S-Class as a “three litres per 100 kilometres” car

The third hybrid model of the new S-Class, the S 500 PLUG-IN HYBRID, sets new benchmarks with regard to efficiency as well as drive-system and climate comfort. With 69 g CO2 per kilometre (3 litres/100 km) the S‑Class sets a new benchmark for luxury saloons that just a few years ago was thought virtually impossible. The 80-kW electric drive with externally rechargeable battery makes emission-free driving for about 30 km possible. It is combined with the new 3.0-litre V6 turbocharged engine. Mercedes-Benz will present the S 500 PLUG-IN HYBRID at the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA). The market launch will be next year.

Sounds like a nice car but the 107 HP for the electric is a bummer however the gasoline engine has a good MPG and a tasty 328 HP.
