This Mercedes S65 AMG was spotted recently, and these pictures of it made their way to me because of my slight obsession of everything turbo related. According to the Mercedes Benz website, this car goes for $209K brand new. That is a fair amount of cashola to say the least, but this car is not just another leather filled Cavalier with V12 badges. It’s a bit more exciting than that, and the technical stats may even surprise you.
Let’s get right down to it – under the hood of this sleeping beauty sits a Bi-Turbo V12 with 621 horsepower and 738 ft lbs of torque. Need I say more? Okay fine, I will. “Twin turbo” is obviously not elegant enough gearhead terminology, so MB brought the euro-style “Bi-Turbo” to the table. That’s 100% fair game if your customers are spending this kind of cheese though. Now, when owners aren’t ripping away at the paddle shifters in attempt to get to 60 mph in the advertised 4.2 seconds, they may notice the S65’s amazing stopping capabilities. This 5000 pound rolling supermodel is capable of adjusting its brakes 30 times per second. While hummingbird wings do flap faster, I’d still consider that fairly quick. Sorry Mercedes, nature always wins.
The interior surrounds you in comforts that make you feel as important as you probably are. When in the driver’s seat, the dashboard prominently displays that you are at the helm of a V12 Bi Turbo AMG, just in case you forget. There is no question who the boss is, it’s you. The speedometer calmly suggests that 220 mph could be had, but who would be able to see you if you were traveling that fast? When you are driving automotive jewelry like this, you need to keep it like a lowrider, low and slow.
Keep up the great work Mercedes, I like where your head’s at, you’re doing one heck of a job out there.
*Bonus points for anybody that can post up the name of the person who owns this car (yes, I do know).
Just were does the mill fit? …back seat?
