Take it to the limit, a single a lot more time.
It seems like just yesterday we have been falling over ourselves at the New York auto show debut of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG 4MATIC coupe. The remarkably gorgeous and effective complete-size 2-door seemed to be Benz’;s ultimate answer to the Bentley Continental GT, but, it turns out, for only a moment. Right on the heels of our first spin behind the wheel of the S63 coupe, an even more great and athletic variation of the S-class coupe is here: the twelve-cylinder S65 AMG coupe. We cannot say we are surprised—after all, the 2 preceding generations of the big coupe (previously dubbed the CL-class) every had been topped by a wild, V-12–powered AMG model.
Much more of the Most
The 2015 S65 AMG coupe is among the most fetching and luxurious cars on the planet, with almost ridiculous levels of gear. But it really is a beast very first and foremost, a menacing and much more evil one than its V-8–powered S63 sibling. For starters, like the S65 sedan, the S65 coupe is rear-wheel-drive only presumably, the twin-turbocharged V-12 engine’;s 621 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque would fry the 577-hp S63’s 4MATIC all-wheel-drive components. Mashing the throttle need to not be done carelessly. The all-aluminum, 3-valve-per-cylinder M275 V-12, as ahead of, probably will emit a most refined but sinister sound.
Sheer numbers don’;t do the S65 justice, but they are impressive nonetheless: AMG claims the sprint to 60 mph happens in just 4 seconds flat, and leading speed is governed at a sweet 186 mph. Surely, the S65 AMG coupe could exceed the magic 200-mph barrier, but saner engineers—ones equipped with electronic limiters—at Daimler prevailed. Buyers who plan on regularly reaching for the S65’s top speed can look forward to ponying up for the optional carbon-ceramic brakes.

To try and curb the massive, twin-turbocharged 6.-liter V-12’s thirst, Benz fitted a 6-speed automatic in place of the old CL65 AMG’s 5-cog unit, an engine quit-begin method, and lightweight technology such as a lithium-ion battery that saves 44 pounds. The automaker claims the S65 coupe can travel slightly farther on a unit of gasoline than the outgoing CL65 AMG, but seeing as how we recorded a meager 16 mpg in our test of the 2013 CL65, do not expect owners of the new coupe to break friendships with their nearby gas-station proprietors.
As if its straight-line overall performance weren’t impressive sufficient, the S65 AMG coupe attempts to wow in the corners, as well. It is equipped with a “Curve Tilting” function, which at speeds amongst 10 and 111 mph in fact leans the physique into corners the way a motorcycle rider would. But it isn’t a overall performance-enhancing tool as Mercedes puts it, Curve Tilting is developed as a comfort function. Another such perk is Magic Physique Manage, which first debuted on the most recent S-class sedan and utilizes cameras to scan the road surface and feed information to the dampers, which pre-load themselves to compensate for impending road-surface irregularities.
The electromechanical energy-steering system has Comfort and greater-work Sport settings, each of which are linked to the eponymous driver-selectable suspension modes. The Sport algorithm, according to the press release, provides “a sportily stiff level of steering assistance.” To set the S65 AMG apart from its lesser S-class coupe siblings, it gets an added dollop of chrome—people will know—and it has beautiful 20-inch forged-aluminum wheels.

A lot more Technology Than You Can Shake an iPhone At
Have we described the insane level of luxurious gear? This coupe packs each imaginable goodie and function in Mercedes-Benz’s playbook, and then some. There is a normal head-up show, Benz’s new touchpad COMAND system, a 360-degree parking camera, active park assist, Distronic Plus adaptive cruise control, cross-targeted traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, lane-maintaining assist, AMG-exclusive Nappa leather interior trimmings, a Burmester surround-sound audio technique, and a 12.2-inch color TFT center display. Daimler is a leader in security technology, telematics, and help systems, and this is one particular location exactly where the automaker’s ultra-strong coupe trounces competitors from the likes of Aston Martin and Bentley.
Of course, any automobile with this significantly luxury, not to mention 1 uttered in the very same breath as “Aston Martin” or “Bentley” is going to be pricey. Mercedes-Benz hasn’t slapped a cost tag on the S65 AMG coupe however, but provided the substantial cost buffer between the S63 AMG coupe and S63 AMG sedan, it is safe to predict a starting point comfortably north of the S65 AMG sedan’s estimated $ 220,000 asking price tag.
