Mercedes-Benz S550 [W221]

A normal sighting on Madison Avenue or Ginza, but not on Castellana. It was only sold as "S 550" in the USA, Canada and Japan, while the rest of the world we knew it just as "S 500". The powertrain remained the same in all markets. The funny thing is that the American or Japanese nomenclature is closer to reality: the engine is a 5.4 litre V8, not a 5.0.
