劉嘉玲示範如何以高貴形式穿著乾濕褸，以Dior全 紅乾濕褸襯one-piece裙和高跟鞋，再添黑色畫家 帽，散發陣陣優雅氣息。
阿嬌皮膚本來就白皙，穿上紅白藍星星大褸，更有 人逢喜事的神采飛揚感。即使褸長及腳踝，卻出奇 地改善身形比例，顯得甚是修長。
陳凱琳這上身跌膊deep V設計晚裝，一反向來身材 無甚瞄頭的印象，不但體態玲瓏，更沒有刻意營造 的突兀感。
This is a good example of how to wear a trench coat in an elegant way. Carina has donned Dior’s red trench coat with a one-piece dress, heels and a painter hat.
Fair-skinned Gillian looks marvellous in a red, white and blue star coat. This coat is very long, making her look taller and slimmer.
This evening dress, with its deep-V design, enhances Grace’s figure in a subtle way.

入行四年的陳凱琳，演出機會繁多，但最惹人羡 慕的，是得男友鄭嘉穎肯定，高調甜蜜放閃。 Grace憑甚麼得天獨厚？她自信、樂觀、隨遇而 安、生活簡單；新年願望是傻氣的「少食蛋糕、 多食蔬菜」，大家不斷揣測她如何「馴服」鄭嘉 穎，其實正能量就是她的必殺技。
The Blessed One:
陳凱琳
Grace chan Four years into her showbiz career, Grace Chan has won her fair share of air time. She is also envied for being the sweetheart of screen heartthrob Kevin Cheng. Why is Grace so blessed? She is confident, upbeat, easy going and leads a simple life. Her New Year resolution was cute – “eat less cake and more vegetables!” We are all speculating how she managed to capture wild Kevin. Her positive energy is perhaps her best weapon.

COVER STORY
難忘的第一次 過去的2017，她形容是「90%開心」， 在風高浪急的娛樂圈中，實屬難得。 「2017有許多難忘的第一次，包括第 一次親身到意大利看時裝秀；第一次拍網 劇《飛虎極戰》，體驗以拍攝電影的模式拍 劇；第一次參與電影拍攝；第一次到內地 拍電視劇，挑戰以普通話說對白，即使明 知播出時會被配音，但總算是一次磨練。」
She described 2017 as “90% happy”. This is pretty good, considering the turbulent nature of show biz. “There were lots of unforgettable firsts in 2017, including attending a fashion show in Italy in person for the first time; shooting my first-ever online show Flying
Tiger in movie-making style; being in the first movie production; and delivering lines in Putonghua in my first TV show in China, though knowing full well it would be dubbed when it’s aired. But it’s a challenge nonetheless.”

COVER STORY Dice Kayek blue blouse BaubleBar crystal earrings
超現實的期待 她坦言小時候沒立志做藝人，也不覺自己有表演慾，大學 選讀傳理系，也是一心想做記者採訪寫文章，難以想像今天會 演戲唱歌做主持，直至拍過幾部劇集後，她才找到演藝工作的 樂趣，開始明白甚麼是前輩說的 「戲癮」 。 「演過一、兩部劇之後，開始期待下一次演甚麼角色，思 考怎樣演才得到觀眾認同，或者翻看舊作，研究自己有沒有進 步。初入行時，曾經懷疑自己是否適合做藝人，但期待劇集播 出那種興奮心情，令我知道自己真的喜歡演戲。」演戲有趣，因 為能嘗試過另一種人生，所以她最期待的，是現實中不會出現 的情節。 「好想試試警匪、槍戰、綁架這類動作場面，或者像《巨輪 2 》那種情緒起伏很大的角色，演民初、古裝劇，生活在另一個 世界，也很好玩，所以 《張保仔》 玩穿越，拍得好開心。」 說到目標，Grace不敢奢望得獎，只希望有人談論，得到 讚賞， 「像 《平安谷》 有正面評價，有人認同，我已經很滿足。」
Hoping for the surreal She said she had never planned on becoming an actress, and didn’t think she had the desire to perform. She majored in media and communication and planned on becoming a journalist. She wouldn’t have imagined that she would act, sing and be a program host. After involving in a few TV series, she finally found the fun of show biz, and began to understand what the veterans described as “acting thrills”. “After one or two TV series, I began to look forward to the next role, and started thinking how to act to make it resonate with viewers. I would also watch past works and see if I have improved. When I first started in the business, I wondered if I was cut out to be an artist. But the excitement of waiting for the works to air makes me realise that I really enjoy acting.” Acting is fun because it provides an opportunity to live the life of a different person, so she longs for stories that are not likely to happen in real life. “I’d love to try action stories like police stories, gun fights and kidnapping. Something like the emotionally volatile characters of
Brother’s Keeper II. Period dramas are also fun, to live in another world. Time travel in Captain of Destiny was great fun.” When it comes to goals, Grace doesn’t dare to hope for awards yet. She would like to be talked about, and get good reviews. “I’ll settle for positive feedbacks and recognition like those I got for The Forgotten Valley.”

allowing the watch’s beating heart to stand
J12 2000年面世的J12是首枚將高科技精密陶瓷大膽轉化為 彌足珍貴材質的腕錶。Chanel今年推出一套共12款、獨一無 二的J12腕錶系列，每一款均以高科技精密陶瓷馬賽克鑲嵌 抽象構圖。12款腕錶可結合為由Chanel製錶創意工作室設 計、具延續性概念的組圖。承襲相同的美學概念，另外兩款 黑白J12腕錶，以數字12為靈感，各限量發行1,200枚。 Launched in 2000, the J12 was the first watch to dare transforming high-tech ceramic into a precious material. For 2018, Chanel presents a set of 12 one-of-a-kind watches, each decorated with an abstract composition produced in ceramic marquetry. The 12 pieces together form a polyptych, showcasing a graphic design by Chanel’s Watchmaking Creative Studio. In the same artistic spirit, two J12 watches in black and white, and inspired by the number 12, are being issued in a limited-edition series of 1,200 pieces in each colour.
CODE COCO CODE COCO腕錶於錶面中心的扣環設計， 一如Chanel女士於1955年2月創作的2.55手袋鎖 扣。鎖扣開關之間，時間可被巧妙地隱藏或展 現。一顆鑽石低調地閃耀於黑色的錶盤上，綻 放著珍貴的魅力。柔軟舒適的手鐲，輕盈而不 干擾絲毫動作，是引發菱格紋設計的初衷。 2018年，Chanel更首次推出黑色陶瓷CODE COCO腕錶。 The CODE COCO watch closes with a click like the quilted 2.55 bag created by Mademoiselle Chanel in February 1955, sealing the watch with an exclusive flourish. A diamond subtly shines on a black dial, creating a precious allure. For 2018, Chanel presents the CODE COCO in black ceramic for the first time, a material of predilection for Chanel watchmaking.
MONSIEUR 2018年，Chanel給專為男仕打造的MONSIEUR de Chanel腕 錶系列注入獅子印記，推出兩款MONSIEUR腕錶；還有搭載改良 自Calibre 2的新版CALIBRE 2.2機芯、獨一無二的懷錶及座鐘， 限量發行五座。 For 2018, Chanel welcomes the Lion to its MONSIEUR collection, a watch specially designed for men. There are two versions of the Monsieur watch: a one-of-a-kind pocket watch fitted with a new version of the Calibre 2, and a limited-edition series of five pieces.

Vanguard S6 Yachting
近年屢屢見到Franck Muller旗下腕錶系列採鏤空式樣，今年的Vanguard Yachting系列亦 然。電鍍藍色錶橋與玫瑰金錶殼及錶盤細節均晶瑩剔透，尤其是6時位置化身為航海指南針模 樣的小秒針盤，與12時位置的發條鼓形成了「8」字圖案。腕錶尺寸為44×53.7mm，搭載手上 鏈機芯，具有7日動力儲備。 （約售$66,000） Franck Muller has become increasingly partial to the skeletonized design and this year’s Vanguard Yachting model is a case in point. With a blue-plated bridge, a rose-gold case and a skeletonized dial, this is one attractive timepiece. The small second hand at 6 o’clock looks like a navigational compass, and forms an “8” shape with the barrels at 12 o’clock. The case measures 44×53.7 millimetres and features a hand-winding mechanism with seven days of power reserve. (Approx. $66,000)
Skafander
這枚全新的Skafander是初次曝光的錶款。Skafander於1930年面世、本來是為海軍潛水 員製作的全壓力潛水衣，多年後更被改良成太空服。今天，品牌以這潛水衣為靈感，設計出 這枚酒桶形的潛水錶。腕錶在8時及10時位置分別有兩枚按鈕，可以將內錶圈向前調校1分鐘 或5分鐘，作為潛水倒數計時之用。不鏽鋼錶殼尺寸是46×57mm，搭載自動機芯，可防水 100米。 （約售$19,500） The Skafander navy diving suit was first introduced in 1930 and evolved into a space suit years later. Franck Muller has taken inspiration from the suit to create this tonneau-shaped dive watch. The two pushers at 8 o’clock and 10 o’clock are for adjusting the inner bezel forward by one minute or five minutes for diving countdown. The stainless steel watch measures 46×57 millimetres and is powered by an automatic calibre. It is water resistant to 100 metres. (Approx. $19,500)
Vanguard World Timer GMT
這是Vanguard系列首枚兩地時間兼世界時區腕錶，腕錶一共有三個錶環，最外圍是時間 刻度，中央浮雕世界地圖外是一個24小時時區環，再外面一圈是世界城市。不但可以通過4時 位置的按鈕來調校紅色三角形的第二時區指針，同時亦能清楚看到世界時間，再加上24小時 環分為黑白二色，能輕易分辨晝夜。腕錶採用玫瑰金造殼，尺寸為44×53.7mm，搭載自動機 芯。 （約售$42,000） This is the first dual time zone and universal time watch in the Vanguard collection. It features three bezels – the outer one has time markers; the inner one circling the world map relief is a 24-hour time zone ring; the one in between indicates world cities. The pusher at 4 o’clock is for adjusting the red triangular indicator of a second time zone. World time is also clearly shown on the ring. The 24-hour bezel in black and white denotes day and night. It features a 44×53.7-millimetre rose gold case and an automatic mechanism. (Approx. $42,000)

Prada 跳出框架 Outside the box 全黑的時裝騷環境與系列的鮮艷顏色構成強烈對比， 大量的配搭層次以及如霓虹燈的螢光用色將品牌帶到另一層 次。向來熱愛藝術的Miuccia Prada利用時裝拼拼貼貼，遊 走於運動與女性風格之間，或綴以花卉綴飾，或在模特兒頸 上繫上偌大的蝴蝶結，為boxy服飾線條注入女人味。
The pitch-black venue provided a strong contrast to its colourful collections. Layering and neon colours took the brand to a new level. Art buff Miuccia Prada plays collage with sporty and feminine styles, using floral ornaments and tying oversized bows on the models’ necks to add sass to boxy silhouettes.
Dolce & Gabbana 信望愛 Have faith
話題不斷的Dolce & Gabbana，將騷場設計成天主教教堂， 還廣播要求現場來賓關上wi-fi，否則不會開騷，原來安排了多部 航拍機吊著全新手袋打頭陣，贏得全場歡呼聲。今次以「Fashion Devotion」為題，招牌黑色喱士裙、聖十字架裝飾大衣、綴滿閃片 的運動套裝華麗出動，甚有show hand意味。 Always creating something to be talked about, Dolce & Gabbana turned to a Catholic church theme and demanded that guests turn off their wi-fi before the show opened. That was a prelude for the grand entrance of drones carrying its new handbags, which won thunderous applause. The show’s “Fashion Devotion” theme was a tour de force, featuring its signature black lace dress, a coat decorated with a holy cross and a sporty ensemble glamourized with sequins.

或區域。
品質 盡量投資在高質量的物料上。挑選耐用、精細和能顯 示工藝的物料。
比例
任何時候都應該選擇與空間比例恰當的家具。
五官感覺 巧妙地運用物品來誘發五官感覺。例如在洗手間內燃 點香薰蠟燭、在你喜歡的舒適扶手椅上鋪上一張茄士咩毛 氈，並且播放一些切合你心境的音樂。 「豪華應該是有品味的。既要追求細節的完美，也要提 升整個空間的格調。」 這是Abraham的心得。
QUALITY Invest in quality when possible. Look for rich materials that last and custom details that indicate craftsmanship
PROPORTIONS Always select furniture appropriate to the scale of your space.
FIVE SENSES Appeal to all five senses through the artful use of accessories. Light a scented candle in the powder room, throw a cashmere blanket on your favourite armchair, play some music that suits your mood. “Luxury should be tasteful. It should both perfect the details and elevate the entire space.” Abraham Chan Design Office ac-do.com

答案是：groom attelé掛具。
The answer: A “groom attelé».
這個掛具是愛馬仕家居用品系列的成品之一， 用來掛衣服及配飾。馬轡形狀的設計、「馬鞍針縫技 法」 的針腳及金屬配件，完美演繹品牌與馬具的淵源。 這件產品可說是品牌回歸製作馬具產品的傳 承。Groom attelé是指小馬伕，而品牌以法國人像及 動物畫家Alfred de Dreux的名作《鞍轡已備，以供乘 騎》(Duc attelé, groom à l’attente)作為品牌標誌。 品牌對於製作馬具的傳統引以為傲，這可見諸
It is a hanger and accessories holder, part of Hermès’ collection for the home. The bridle shape, the saddle stitching and the hardware are all inspired by equestrian accoutrement, the house’s first métier. The name of this piece seems to refer to the very essence of the brand. “Groom attelé” translates to harnessed stable boy, and the inspiration behind the logo of the brand is a painting by French portrait and animal painter Alfred de Dreux — Duc attelé, groom à l’attente (harnessed carriage, waiting attendant).

This year’s trend goes to the soft touch of light furniture, wall art, chinaware, lighting and other decors. The feel of simple, modernized, contrasting layering is created using industrial-like metal and brass, and the evergreen design element, wood. Geometric shapes and colour are also used to further enhance the visual impact.

每年踏入初夏，是卑詩省野生斑點蝦的撈捕期。經過一個春天的滋養，斑點蝦長得肥 美鮮甜，因此每年五月，Spot Prawn Festival於溫哥華Granville Island漁人碼頭掀開蝦季 序幕，正式宣告老饕可以大快朵頤的美好時光到臨。參加Spot Prawn Festival的市民年年 遞增，不但可以在漁人碼頭的會場內品嘗到當年首次由漁船即捕即運來、並由本地大廚即 場炮製的斑點蝦外，還有名廚示範斑點蝦食譜及可現購鮮蝦。 The harvest season for wild B.C. spot prawns begins in May each year. To mark the occasion and declare that it’s finally time for gourmet connoisseurs to savour these sweet and succulent crustaceans, the Spot Prawn Festival is held at Vancouver’s False Creek Fishermen’s Wharf. The festival attracts more and more visitors every year. Not only can you taste the fresh, offthe-boat prawns cooked by local chefs, but you can also participate in cooking demonstrations and purchase take-home prawns on site. 法式大廚將開邊蝦極速煎過後再極速入焗 爐，以保留蝦肉爽口又能使鋪面的蒜茸、香 蔥及青醬香氣滲入蝦肉之中。 The French chef cuts up the prawns, fries them, then bakes them quickly in the oven to preserve their firm texture, while allowing the essence of the garlic, chives and green sauce to permeate the flesh.
Spot prawn boil是把汆熟斑點蝦 全部倒在桌上，食客據案大吃， 痛快之極。由於蝦隻是在滋味高 湯中汆煮兩至三分鐘，撈起的蝦 隻尚有餘熱，在遞送過程中把只 有五成熟的蝦燙至六或七成熟， 故蝦肉保持了如刺身般的口感及 甜腴特質。 The spot prawns are boiled in a delicious broth for two to three minutes, for a medium to medium-well doneness, to maintain a sashimi-like texture and sweet taste. Spread the hot prawns on the table and allow diners to dig in.

Spot pawns are called “botan ebi” in Asia, which literally means “peony prawns”, because of the beautiful reddish-brown colour of their flesh that one might associate with peonies. These sweet prawns make great sashimi, and have long been renowned in Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan.The 2,450 metric tonnes of spot prawns caught in B.C. waters each year have traditionally been marketed in Japan. However, in recent years, the catch has also been heavily sourced by the strong Chinese consumer market. It is not easy to preserve the freshness of spot prawns, but with advanced cryotechnology, they can be caught and instantly frozen at sea to preserve their sweetness and firm texture.

外科展望計劃活動 溫哥華綜合醫院暨卑詩大學醫院基金會董事及行政總 裁 Barbara Grantham說：「我們從一個小型基金會開始， 一直致力為卑詩省最大規模的專科教學醫院 – 溫哥華綜 合醫院籌募經費。今天，我們全力支持卑詩省最大規模的 衛生局和溫哥華沿岸衛生局，提供最專門的護理，開創性 研究和全新改革的體系。善之光晚宴所籌得的善款，將使 VGH能夠專注於最複雜的手術個案，如創傷、移植手術和 嚴峻的癌症手術。外科展望計劃正在強化VGH和UBC醫 院的資源，讓我們成為一體化、最先進和最高效的手術先 驅。」
帶來驚喜的宣佈 加拿大著名豪華住宅和綜合用途項目發展商Westbank 的首席營運長，Judy Leung今年首度作為晚宴籌委主席。 「透過各善長仁翁對外科展望計劃的支持，縱然政府資源有 限，我們也可幫助最複雜病例的患者，也能獲得最先進的 手術護理，更可以確保我們的醫院能夠為卑詩省提供可持 續的世界級護理。」Judy於晚宴當晚更帶來驚喜：「很榮幸能 代表我的良師Ian Gillespie宣布，Westbank將捐贈150萬元 給外科展望計劃！為我們的籌款活動作啟動！」 作為這次大型籌款慈善活動的籌委主席，Judy當然沒 有令人失望。活動最初希望可以籌集300萬元，最終飛越新 高峰，籌得超過434萬元的創新紀錄，取得空前成功。
令人興奮的現場競投拍賣 當晚最高拍賣價的競投珍品由Delvaux贊助。la Maison Delvaux成立於1829年，是一個真正的比利時品牌，在歐洲 和亞洲享負盛名。他們的第一家北美零售店於去年年底在 溫哥華成立。
“The creative concept for the 2018 Viva Pharmaceutical Time to Shine Gala is opulent avant-garde,” explained Kitty Cheung, VGH + UBC Hospital Foundation’s associate director of Asian strategy. “It is inspired by a unique blend of the House of Faberge and Downton Abbey, the ethos of colour blurring the lines between classic and edgy, between thought-provoking and timeless. “The Faberge represents a range of work in high quality and intricate details. To evoke the designs and colours with perfect blending of heritage and modernity, we use the peacock that showcases the similar colour palette and accent, making the presentation as a whole a lively and elegant approach.”
The Future of Surgery Campaign “We began as a small foundation supporting Vancouver General Hospital, B.C.’s largest specialized teaching hospital,” said Barbara Grantham, president and CEO of VGH + UBC Hospital Foundation. “Today, we support the most specialized care, groundbreaking research and system transformation across Vancouver Coastal Health, B.C.’s largest health authority.” “The money raised this evening will enable VGH to focus on the most complex surgery cases, such as traumas, transplants and complex cancer surgeries. The Future of Surgery campaign is strengthening the resources of both VGH and UBC Hospital to become a single, state-of-the-art, efficient, effective surgical program.”
An Exciting Surprise for the Evening Philanthropist Judy Leung, COO of Westbank, Canada’s leading luxury residential and mixed-use real estate development company, made her debut as the Gala’s chair. “By supporting the Future of Surgery campaign, we can come together to go above and beyond the limits of public funding,” she said. “Together, we can ensure that patients receive the most advanced surgical care for even the most complex cases, and together we can ensure our hospitals can provide sustainable, world-class care for British Columbia.” Leung also brought an exciting surprise to the evening. “To kickstart our fundraising, I have a special announcement,” she said. “On behalf of my mentor Ian Gillespie, I am very proud to announce that Westbank is contributing $1.5 million to the Future of Surgery campaign!” As chair of this significant fundraising charity event, Leung certainly did not disappoint, for the event was a huge success. With an original fundraising target of $3 million, the Gala soared to new heights by raising a record-breaking $4.34 million.
Exciting live auctions The evening’s top auctioned piece was sponsored by Delvaux. Founded in 1829, la Maison Delvaux is a truly Belgian brand that is renowned in Europe and Asia. Their first North America retail store opened in Vancouver late last year.

2005年釀酒師的心思全放於美國橡木波本桶，陳釀 11年後，便決定裝瓶讓大家嚐嚐這獨特的香橙與雲 尼拿甘香風味。 The distiller used bourbon barrels exclusively in 2005. After maturing for 11 years, it’s bottled to share the unique taste of orange and vanilla with connoisseurs.
Timing，是Balblair釀造年份威士忌所強調的要素，釀酒師 定時品試木桶醞釀中的原酒，認為到達最佳飲用狀態時便入 瓶，以美國波本桶及西班牙雪莉木桶陳釀13年的這瓶1990 年，便呈現出別具朱古力香味的圓潤特質。 Timing is a key factor that Balblair emphasizes. Distillers taste the cru in the cask regularly. When the taste is deemed to be optimal, it is bottled. This 1990 vintage, aged for 13 years in American bourbon barrels and sherry casks, gives off a round and smooth chocolate aroma.
Balblair於2007年決定於芸芸 Highland酒廠突圍，全心全 意只釀造單一純麥芽vintage whisky，成為此道先鋒。 Balblair decided in 2007 to set itself apart among Highland distilleries by becoming the first to focus on single-malt vintage whisky.

要維修舊的平治汽車，同事們都會說：「把車交給Rudi吧！」 His finely assembled products were then displayed in the shop’s window and passersby were quick to purchase them. Koniczek wound up making more money than if he had been paid a salary. Eventually, Koniczek gravitated to the slot-car racing scene. All of his cars were Mercedes Benz (MB) models he built himself. He was so proud of his handiwork that he went to the head office of Mercedes Benz Canada and presented his 1:32 scale MB racers to president Reiner Lange-Mechlin. He was so impressed that he offered the young man a job on the spot, as a lot boy. Koniczek was only 15 years old. A few months of cleaning shop floors and parking lots led to a five-year factory apprenticeship, which afforded Koniczek the opportunity to restore older Mercedes Benz vehicles like the 300SL

models, which were not as valuable at the time (this was the 1960s). His co-workers preferred to work on newer cars, so when an older Mercedes came in for repairs, they would simply say, “Give the car to Rudi”.

Elite Car 平治在新版的S級車系朝全自動駕駛方向又邁進一步，這套價值2,300元 的智能駕駛套裝提供不少自動安全駕駛的功能，包括主動車距控制和主動轉向 輔助，讓駕駛者保持適當車距和安全轉向，並且可以利用車內GPS系統的數據 以及路旁的標誌在彎路和馬路交匯處自動調整車速。其中一個有趣的地方是它 會依據所選的駕駛模式來調整速度。例如轉彎時使用Comfort模式，車速比選 用Sport或Sport+時減得更慢。 新版還包括有技術提升了的主動緊急煞車輔助和主動車道轉換輔助。在轉換 行車線輔助系統方面，如果司機想打燈轉線而旁邊的行車線通行無阻時，系統會 自動扭協助車輛轉換行車線；如果旁邊的行車線有車的話，車輛的指揮燈會自 動熄掉，取消轉線。 現在已經這麼厲害了，難以想像平治下一步還會有什麼新突破。然而，這 種種令人讚嘆的先進科技，原來只是S 560部分優越設施之一而已。
華貴車廂
輕觸板除了如手機般可以手指來操控娛樂和導航系統，還可用旋 鈕來控制。 This Mercedes-Benz touchpad controller, which includes a rotary knob, can be used to control the entertainment and navigation systems.
S 560的車廂華貴優雅、誘人和舒適。選置價值6,100元的Premium Package，可享受到按摩功能、前排座椅12向電子調校和4向電動腰部支撐調 節兼有電熱及冷卻功能、360度鏡頭、泊車輔助及後窗遮陽捲簾等。 車內寧靜舒適，高貴的柔軟羊皮座位及內飾令人愛不釋手。坐在後面的乘 客如獲帝王式享受，寬敞的腳部空間可以隨意舒服伸展。 如要在周末出埠旅遊，這車的尾箱空間充足，530公升的容量足以擺放行 李雜物。以長途旅行來說，我想不到有哪一款車比它更讓人喜歡。即使車軸長 和重磅，但在小路上仍行走自如，在高速公路上馳騁更是樂趣無窮。 我敢說，在目前的汽車世界裡，這款車是最好的。雖然它的確價值不菲，但 在豪華汽車的領域裡，沒有一款車在舒適度、設計和技術這3方面能與之媲美。
According to Mercedes-Benz, the new 4.0-litre biturbo engine is among the most fuel efficient V8s on the market, consuming up to six per cent less fuel than its

predecessor, while offering 14 more horsepower. Some of the fuel savings come from a new cylinder deactivation system, whereby four cylinders shut down when full power is not needed, such as cruising on the highway. Outside, not much has changed. There are new bumpers, a revised headlamp system and other minor updates, but it’s the technology that really moves the new S-Class ahead of the pack. For example, Mercedes-Benz gives the driver several methods of changing various controls. There are touch controls on the steering wheel and touchpad, plus direct access keys or voice input for many infotainment functions. The touch controls respond to swiping motions, like the screen of a smartphone. The dash features a pair of new 12.3-inch, high-resolution display screens that are fully digital, allowing the driver to choose from three different display styles — Classic, Sporty and Progressive. In addition, our tester had the optional head-up display ($1,500) that projects a

data mined from the onboard GPS system, as well as roadside signage. One interesting aspect of this is that the speed adjustment varies according to the driving mode selected. For example, Comfort mode will slow the car more on corners than if the car is in Sport or Sport+ mode. Active Emergency Stop Assist and Active Lane Changing Assist are two other driver assistance systems that have been enhanced for 2018. With the lane change system, if the driver signals a lane change and the adjacent lane is clear, the system will steer the car into that lane. If the adjacent lane is occupied, the car will switch off the turn signal and cancel the lane change. What will they think of next? And this only touches the surface on the technological goodies available on the S 560. The cabin area is sumptuous, relaxing and inviting. For the driver, the optional Premium Package ($6,100) provides things like massage features and 12-way electronically adjustable front seats with four-way power lumbar support, heating and cooling.
