Question: Which car that has an 8 in shorter wheelbase than the C215 coupé replaced another S-class in the late 90's?

The AMC AMX is a two-seat GT-style sports car that was produced by American Motors Corporation for the 1968 through 1970 model years.  The AMX was also classified as a muscle car, but "unique among other American cars at the time due its short wheelbase".  The AMX was also the only American-built steel-bodied two-seater of its time, the first since the 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird.  To a degree, the AMX was a competitor with America's only other two-seater of the era, the Chevrolet Corvette for substantially less money.  With a one-inch (2.5 cm) shorter wheelbase than Chevrolet's two-seater, the AMX was often seen by the press as a "Corvette competitor" <SEP> The Mercedes-Benz W140 is a series of flagship vehicles that were manufactured by the German automotive company Mercedes-Benz.  On November 16, 1990, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the W140 S-Class via press release, later appearing in several February and March editions of magazines.  The W140 made its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1991, with the first examples rolling off the production line in April 1991 and North American examples on August 6, 1991.  Short (SE) and long (SEL) wheelbase sedans were offered initially, as well as the coupé (SEC=S-Klasse-Einspritzmotor(Fuel injection engine)-Coupé) body style C140 from October 1992.  Like all Mercedes-Benz lines, the W140 S-Class was rationalized in late 1993 using the new "letter-first" nomenclature.  The SE, SEL, and SEC cars were renamed the S-Class, with alphanumerical designations inverted.  For example, the 500 SE became the S 500, and the 500 SEL became the S 500 L.  In 1996 the coupé models following a mid-life update were separated into the CL-Class.  The W140 series S-Class was superseded by the W220 S-Class sedan and C215 CL-Class coupe in 1999 after an eight-year production run. <SEP> The Mercedes-Benz W220 was a series of flagship sedans which constituted the Mercedes-Benz S-Class during the early to mid-2000s.  Development for the W220 S-Class started in 1992, with the final design, helmed by Steve Mattin being approved in 1994 and frozen for production in the first half of 1995.  The completed prototypes were presented in June 1998.  The W220 started production in August 13, 1998, and the C215 CL-Class coupés started production in 1999.  Compared to its predecessor, the W220 had somewhat smaller exterior dimensions but offered more interior space, particularly in the long-wheelbase versions (although the trunk is smaller than on its W140 predecessor).  Production of the W220 totalled 485,000 units, slightly more than the production totals from the W140.  The W220 was a replacement for the earlier W140 S-Class after the 1998 model year.  Production ended in 2006 when the W220 was replaced by the W221 S-Class and the C215 was replaced in 2006 by the C216 CL-Class. <SEP>  It is based on the 1999–2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W220), though it rides on an 8 in shorter wheelbase. The second generation of the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class is the C215-chassis coupé of 2000–2006.  Sales in Germany started in August 1999 for the CL 500 V8.
