Its monster engine is paired with the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS seven-speed automatic transmission, and the groundbreaking MAGIC BODY CONTROL scans the road ahead and automatically adjusts the AMG sport-tuned suspension to enhance ride comfort.
The interior of the S65 AMG Coupe is designed to be a haven of comfort and connectivity, from Hot Stone Massage seats to a touchpad and head-up display, Burmester High End 3D Surround Sound System and innovations such as DISTRONIC PLUS Adaptive Cruise Control, as well as exclusive AMG brake pedals and designo-upholstered AMG sport seats.
With our promise of "The best or nothing," we aim to deliver a driving experience that is second to none. And the 2015 S65 AMG Coupe shows just how thrilling and rewarding the fulfillment of that promise can be.
The Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG Coupé is the new twelve-cylinder top-of-the-range model in the S-Class Coupé series. Unique drive comfort, benchmark performance and exquisite appointments are all hallmarks of this two-door vehicle. The irresistible contours of the V12 Coupé are accentuated by a host of expressive design elements in high-sheen chrome. The AMG 6.0-litre V12 biturbo engine, with an output of 463 kW (630 hp) and 1000 newton metres of torque, is unique in its segment, as is the AMG sports suspension, based on Magic Body Control with curve tilting function and Road Surface Scan.
Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH: "There are AMG fans for whom our V12 biturbo engine is the measure of all things. For this clientele we have developed a unique car in the form of the new S65 AMG Coupé. From driving dynamics to comfort and equipment - our new twelve-cylinder coupé surpasses even the highest of expectations."
Mercedes-AMG's unique range and long V12 tradition
Coupé, Saloon, Roadster and Off-roader: following the S65 AMG, the SL65 AMG and the G65 AMG, the new S65 AMG Coupé is the fourth AMG high-performance car with a V12 engine. No other car manufacturer in the world offers such a wide portfolio of twelve-cylinder vehicles as Mercedes-AMG. Back in 2003 the performance brand of Mercedes-Benz presented a coupé with a powerful V12 biturbo engine in the form of the CL65 AMG (C215 model series). Its successor, the CL65 AMG (C216 model series) was available between 2007 and 2014 and was the direct predecessor to the new S65 AMG Coupé.
Twelve-cylinder engines are still considered the pinnacle of engine design. Among connoisseurs the AMG 6.0-litre V12 biturbo engine in particular is seen as an outstanding example of its type. Open the bonnet of the S65 AMG Coupé, and it is immediately obvious why: the exclusive carbon fibre/aluminium engine cover is synonymous with the exceptional strengths of the V12 engine, built in Affalterbach according to the "one man, one engine" principle. Apart from serving as an AMG hallmark confirming superlative precision and production quality, the AMG engine plate bearing the engine technician's signature is also a clear testament to the peerless DNA of Mercedes-Benz's high-performance brand.
A sensational drive and effortlessly superior performance
The AMG V12 delivers a peak output of 463 kW (630 hp) and a maximum torque of 1000 newton metres - resulting in effortlessly superior performance: the S65 AMG Coupé accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/h (electronically limited). In other respects too 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.
A glance at the consumption and emissions figures shows that the AMG V12 is fit for the future: with fuel consumption of 11.9 litres per 100 kilometres as per NEDC combined (equivalent to 279 g/km CO2), the S65 AMG Coupé is significantly more economical than all of its rivals. Compared with the previous CL65 AMG model, consumption has been reduced by 2.4 litres per 100 kilometres (NEDC combined). The twelve-cylinder top-of-the-range model complies with the EU6 emissions standard.
