The all new Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been nominated for the awards by both Vehicle Dynamics International magazine’s expert readership of chassis and dynamics professionals and by its editorial team. Between four and six shortlisted finalists in each category were then put to an international and independent judging panel of automotive journalists, each of whom voted for the outright winners. The judging panel was made up of 27 judges from 19 countries.
The result was emphatic wins for the S-Class – winning ‘Car of the Year’, Magic Body Control won ‘Innovation of the Year’, Dr. Hermann Storp, who led the development of the S-Class, won ‘Dynamicist of the Year’, and the wider Mercedes-Benz Research and Development department won ‘Dynamics Team of the Year’ too.
