Not everyone has the good fortune, desire or ability of welcoming the all new 2015 S550 in their stable - for those who are waiting, I was thinking about potential updates/changes to the car in 16 and more likely 17/18. Here's what I got in no particular order, feel free to add or comment below!
- DI for the GT (probably worth 450 at crank)
- 2.7L EB engine (and of course the GT350) with V6 being retired
- heated and flat bottom steering wheel (like the updated Focus ST)
- HUD
- Glass roof or sunroof
- Auto with PP
- 8 speed auto
- Updated MFT on different software platform
- New colors (with potentially TY and CO going away)
- Heated recaros
- City braking/collision mitigation
- Headlights that turn with the steering wheel
- Mild suspension tweaks
- added from comments below : magnetic shocks, rev matching in manual, torsen and brembo in EB.
Out of those the heated Recaros, heated steering and HUD appeal to me the most followed by the glass roof although I do see myself hesitating to add 30 pounds to the roof if push comes to shove! i dont know if the heated wheel and HUD can be retrofitted and if its worth it.
The engine I think should be plenty 'as is' for me and gains if needed should come easier than the already stout 5.0 in the S197's (ex: 430 at the wheel with bolt ons today)
