Exclusivity and dynamism, effortless superiority and high tech - the
top-of-the-line S-Class model from Mercedes-AMG embodies all of these
characteristics. Since its market launch some four years ago, the S-Class made
by AMG has won the hearts of more than 8,000 customers around the world -
turning it into the undisputed market leader in the small yet highly exclusive
high-performance luxury sedan segment.
Volker Mornhinweg, Chairman of
Mercedes-AMG GmbH: "Our discerning clientele appreciate the synthesis of
uncompromising performance and dynamic, exclusive equipment, a unique
proposition in this market segment. We have raised the bar further in terms of
driving dynamics, safety and passenger comfort with the extensively updated new
series of the S65 AMG."
Exclusive Effortless Superiority with Style
Dynamic, exclusive, self-confident and effortlessly superior - the new
S-Class AMG model embodies these attributes even more after the precise
fine-tuning. Exterior and interior styling as well as the extensive
standard-equipment package meet even the most discerning requirements. The
first-class workmanship makes for a consummate inviting atmosphere, while
ensuring outstanding comfort on long journeys.
The S65 AMG features an
exclusive radiator grille with three twin chromed louvres, the LED daytime
running lights, the "V12 Biturbo" lettering on the front fenders and with its
20-inch AMG twin-spoke forged wheels painted titanium grey with a mirror finish.
At the rear, the S65 AMG is distinguished by its two sets of chromed twin
tailpipes featuring V12 styling of the AMG sports exhaust system and, of course,
the model designation on the trunk lid.
S65 AMG Impressively Greets
the Driver
As soon as the driver's door is opened, the driver is
welcomed with the "AMG V12 BITURBO" start screen in the AMG instrument cluster -
a clear invitation to start the 604 hp twelve-cylinder engine. Exquisite leather
and select fine wood combine to provide the perfect feel-good atmosphere to
guarantee consummate passenger comfort on long journeys.
