Nice car but the thought of spending that kind of cash and having to deal with my local mercedes main agent frankly horrifies me.

The article claims replacing one battery option (lead acid) for another (lithium ion) has lead to a net weight loss of 23kg. A net weight drop. The original lead acid variety must have weighed a ton.

Google suggests however there's a bit of sloppy reporting involved as the standard S class limousine battery weighs 23kg. I doubt that's a coincidence.

True, sounds like someone has got the wrong end of the stick; it could still be a 20ish kg saving, though.

Not sure about those lights at the back.

Even in the Press photos, if you look closely enough, you can actually see it depreciating.
