The New Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG: Driving Performance in its Perfect Form

  The new Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG sets new standards as the most powerful vehicle in its segment of the market.  The AMG sports suspension based on Magic Body Control comes as standard with Road Surface Scan, the world's first suspension with eyes.  It offers supreme exclusivity in design and equipment specification. The S 65 AMG is the only high performance 12-cylinder automobile from a German premium manufacturer.  It is also a car of pedigree as the first generation of the S 65 was launched in 2003, with the second generation being produced from 2006 until 2013.

The AMG 6.0-litre V12 biturbo engine delivers 630 hp with a maximum torque of 1000 Nm – figures that enable the S 65 AMG to outperform all other vehicles in its segment. This superiority is highlighted by the car's performance, as it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, with a top speed of 155 mph (electronically limited). The strengths of the 12-cylinder biturbo engine from Mercedes-AMG include its effortless acceleration in all speed ranges as well as its refined operation with the distinctive V12 sound typical of AMG. In short, the S 65 AMG impresses with its superior and stylish performance.

The S 65 AMG is a true eye-catcher with a self-assured presence. The large, upright and distinctly three-dimensional V12 radiator grille with its six twin louvers in high-gloss chrome underlines the car's special status. An exciting contrast to this is provided by the front apron with its three large cooling air intakes. The front section sports the AMG-typical, stylised "A" to emphasise the powerful exclusivity of the S 65 AMG.

High-gloss chrome – this design element is used to exclusive effect in the S 65 AMG. An eye-catching appearance, especially in combination with dark paint colours, is guaranteed by the grilles and flics (air deflectors) on the side air intakes. Further exclusive design features include the "V12 BITURBO" lettering on the wings and the "S 65 AMG" model badge on the boot lid – both in new, modern typography.

For the first time, the S 65 AMG is available exclusively with AMG forged light-alloy wheels. This design reduces weight while increasing strength. In the standard specification, the S 65 AMG is fitted with AMG multi-spoke light-alloy wheels, ceramic, high-gloss polished – front: 8.5 x 20'', rear: 9.5 x 20'', tyre sizes 255/40 R 20 and 285/35 R 20.
