Are the interior shots from the S400? Dash says V12 on it which is proabably S65 or S600 variant.
Is there any difference in S400 looks? What is the mileage and weight compared to S550?

"In addition to facelifting its S550 and S600 models, Mercedes-Benz announced the addition of the S400 Hybrid to its S-Class lineup for 2010. The all-new model is Merc’s first ever production hybrid vehicle. It will be followed by the ML450 Hybrid, which debuted on Wednesday in New York.
The internal combustion engine and the hybrid module develop a combined output of 295 horsepower, and a combined maximum torque of 284 pound-feet. The electric motor contributes 20 hp and 118 lb-ft to the powertrain. The combined fuel economy for the S400 is estimated at 29 miles per gallon, a 30 percent increase over the S550.
The S400 Hybrid is the first series production hybrid car to be equipped with a lithium-ion battery. During braking the electric motor acts as a generator and is able to recover kinetic energy. The lithium battery is particularly suited to this task. The battery’s high energy density means it is small enough to fit in the engine compartment. As such, the trunk capacity and interior dimensions remain unchanged. The car’s 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission is specially configured for hybrid operation.
“The S400 Hybrid is a major milestone on our road towards emission-free mobility”, said CEO Dr. Dieter Zetsche. “In this way the S-Class and the Mercedes-Benz brand are doing important pioneering work for the electrification of the automobile.”
