At the side, the eye is drawn to the "V12 BITURBO" lettering on
the wings and the high-sheen chrome inserts in the side skirts
which harmonize perfectly with the high-sheen polished forged
wheels. The rear view is also unmistakable. The AMG sports
exhaust system's two chromed twin tailpipes in V12 design are
integrated into the rear apron. Above the distinctive diffuser
insert, painted in high-gloss black, the trim element forms an
effective contrast. It echoes the design of the "A-wings" on the
front apron and is finished in high-sheen chrome.
On bends the vehicle leans into the turn automatically and
continuously in fractions of a second – depending on the curve
radius and vehicle speed. The innovative suspension system detects curves using both a stereo camera behind the windscreen,
registering the curvature of the road up to approximately 50 feet
ahead, and an additional lateral acceleration sensor. The curve
tilting function is making its United States debut in the S65 AMG
Coupe.
The AMG V12 delivers a peak output of 621 hp and a maximum
torque of 738 lb-ft – The S65 AMG feels effortless to drive
and remains very silent at speed, but when needed provides a
sensational and refreshing rush. If you must know, the S65 AMG
Coupe accelerates from 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds and has a top
speed of 186 mph (electronically limited). In other respects, the
AMG 6.0-litre V12 biturbo engine assures a sensational drive.
Stylish drive & comfort, tremendous pulling power and effortless power delivery in all speed ranges are coupled with refined
engine running characteristics and the distinctive typical sound
of the AMG V12. Need I say more…
