Mercedes-Benz Debuts
S65 AMG Sedan


Mercedes-Benz calls the new S65 AMG the "world's quickest four-door car."
The latest creation from AMG, the world-renowned high-performance division of Mercedes-Benz, is the S65 AMG. Power comes from a hand-built 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine, which produces an astonishing 604 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque.

Mercedes-Benz states that zero to sixty mph acceleration on a test track will take just 4.2 seconds. The S65 AMG is equipped with ABC active suspension with special AMG spring struts, reworked ESP stability control, and ASR traction control system.

The AMG twin-spoke 19-inch wheels carry 245/40 ZR 19 high-performance tires on the front and 275/35 ZR 19 tires on the rear. The S65 AMG is equipped with eight piston calipers and compound brake rotors for the front brakes.

To provide a better view of the impressive AMG powerplant in the S65, Mercedes brought an AMG technician to Chicago. This technician was actually assembling an AMG twin-turbo V12 on the Mercedes-Benz display. Mercedes officials say it takes about eight worker hours to assemble the engine.

I don't know that my butt is sophisticated enough to tell the difference between the leather seat in a $200K German car or a $40k domestic. Even if I had the money, I try and be more practical about things. I don't feel the need to advertise my wealth.

 

Neither do I Todd, but there's nothing wrong with driving a nice car that's uncommon [&:]
