The Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG, the powerful top-of-the-line S-Class model, is now even more appealing: thanks to a series of subtle yet extremely effective fine-tuning measures, the performance saloon is even more striking and priceless than ever before. The updated technology is aimed at ensuring a more dynamic driving experience as well as optimum active and passive safety.


Exclusivity and dynamism combined with effortless superiority and state-of-the-art technology - the top S-Class model from Mercedes-AMG embodies all of these characteristics and more: The AMG 6.0-litre biturbo V12 engine of the S 65 AMG delivers maximum power of 450 kW/612 hp and maximum torque of 1000 newton metres, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds. The saloon is electronically limited to 250 km/h. Despite no changes having been made to the engine data and performance values, it has still been possible to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 3 percent.

Contributing to the even more exceptional status of the model is the new, more pronounced arrow-shaped radiator grille, featuring twin chrome-plated louvres. The new front apron incorporates striking, AMG-specific LED daytime driving lights and two transverse air outlets on each side. Further striking features include "V12 Biturbo" lettering on the front wings and redesigned exterior mirrors.

Side sill panels emphasize the elegant line of the front apron through to the rear of the vehicle, where the new rear apron features yet another highlight: the centre section of the diffuser insert is now painted in the same colour as the vehicle body. New rear lamps with 52 LED's in the form of a double "C" also give the S-Class an unmistakable appearance from behind. A distinctive element comes in the guise of the sports exhaust with two chromed twin tailpipes, featuring a V12 design. The S 65 AMG comes with 20-inch forged wheels painted in titanium grey with a mirror finish and fitted with 255/35 (front) and 275/35 (rear) tyres.
