S65 driven by 4Car



Let's get the big numbers out of the way first, as something like an AMGed S-Class isn't going to appear on many people's shopping list, thanks to its £145,365 price tag. For that hefty wedge you get yourself a 604bhp 6.0-litre V12 bi-turbo powered luxo-barge with 738lb-ft of torque available from just 2,000rpm. This'll hurtle you and your passengers to 62mph in just 4.4seconds, only to have its unrelenting progress halted by electronics at 155mph.

Good article...all I'm missing is the Alacatara trim, designo leather and about 250 HP...and a difference still in my pocket of about $90K

The ABS is very nice...the car is always under control and rides great.

Re: S65 driven by 4Car

I wouldn't worry Jack, I think just 382bhp is just enough bhp, 604 it a little too much!

Just think what you could do with $90k!

Re: S65 driven by 4Car

Damn that S65 looks good in those side profile shots! All that power and luxury! Jack a 382hp S550 is nothing to sneeze at either, you've still got more power than any AMG car prior to 2003!!!

Re: S65 driven by 4Car

Nice photo spread, those photos are worth more than the article. It`s not saying too much about the driving dynamics of the S65.

Re: S65 driven by 4Car

thank you lord for this test..ive been waiting so long..

man this is one of my dream cars..its just so perfect.. and it more or less rapes anything on the road..
ohh and i like this:
Despite an exemplary ride, the S65 AMG is still fun to drive
