Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG Revealed

After all the rumours surrounding the reveal, Mercedes-Benz has officially taken the wraps off the S65 AMG Coupe. The styling differences between the S65 AMG Coupe and S63 AMG Coupe are subtle since Mercedes-Benz and AMG just want these cars to be fast. So the kit is essentially the same.

The minor changes however include a shinier mesh for the front grille and vents, yellow brake calipers instead of red, a more prominent rear diffuser and the V12 BiTurbo badge.
Yes you read that right, it is a V12. The S65 AMG Coupe gets a 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12 engine sourced from the S65 AMG Sedan, which puts out 625bhp and a massive 1000Nm of torque. 0-100Km/h is dealt in 4.1 seconds and the electronically-limited top speed is 250Km/h.
The engine comes mated to an AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC transmission while the sports Magic Body Control suspension benefits from the already familiar curve tilting function. The S65 AMG stands tall on 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels and it does look good in those shoes.
