CanadianDriver Test Drive: 2007 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG

The Emperor · 11-22-2006, 05:03 AM

There is a war going on in Germany right now, and things are getting ugly. It involves hundreds of charging horses, several pointy metallic projectiles, and a few select armies of speed-obsessed automotive engineers. The bully in this conflict is Mercedes-Benz.
Or more specifically, AMG: the high-performance arm of this Stuttgart-based automaker. Oh sure, BMW’s M division and the RS skunkworks of Audi have sent some worthy warriors to battle, but if it’s purely horsepower numbers you’re after, AMG’s latest volley has just opened up a huge can of whoopass on those duking it out in this arena.

Mercedes is playing to win! which if they want
to hold on to the throne they better keep it up!
The S65 an new CL63 have a rather tight grip!

lOl, the ABC suspension allows the driver to raise or lower the vehicle at the push of a botton. The vehicle height should come as no surprise to automotive faners.

@ S65 AMG

But I'd still go for an S320 CDI. Keep it real.

the S65 is a beast and its got BMW by the balls in terms of horse power. However it is in a league of its own...I think they want $170,000 USD for this beast so comparing it with an M5 is inane.

this car wasnt built to compete with a 5-series. Two different cars built with different purpose in mind.
