S-Class
Luxury vehicle tier
S-Class designates the highest tier or ranking in a classification system, above the standard A-through-D or A-through-F grades.
The term originated in Japanese video games and anime, where an S-Class hero or weapon represents elite status: She unlocked the S-Class character after beating the game.
The S may derive from "special" or "super." Outside gaming, S-Class appears in Mercedes-Benz's luxury sedan line and in various ranking systems where exceptional performance exceeds the normal scale.
