2015 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG – First Look

One of the rarest cars in the Mercedes-Benz lineup is the range-topping Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG.  Based upon the S-Class full-size luxury sedan, the S65 is a transformative interpretation of what the brand’s flagship can be.  All-new for 2014, the S65 is one of only 3 Mercedes-Benz models offered with a 12-cylinder engine.  New technology from this biturbo mill boosts horsepower to a whopping 621 while torque output is a stunning 738 foot-pounds leading to an astonishing 0-to-60mph acceleration time of only 4.2-seconds backed by a distinctive AMG V12 soundtrack working through an AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission, besting the previous 5-speed.  Seemingly defying physics, Magic Body Control with Road Surface Scan makes the S65 the first car in the world to use a camera to recognize road conditions and adjust the suspension in advance.  Extremely short stopping distances come courtesy of an optional AMG ceramic high-performance composite braking system. Exclusivity, luxury and sporty define the S65’s interior which includes the full arsenal of technology and safety features.  Pricing starts at over $200,000.
