Mercedes-Benz introduced their brand-new S-Class flagship sedan earlier this year, and now the German automaker has revealed online the 2014 S65 AMG ahead of the it’s public debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show and Tokyo Motor Show.

Offering exclusivity in design and equipment specification

Noticeable design improvements in comparison to the S63 AMG include glossy mesh on the front bumper, additional chrome on the front grille, and it rides on 20-inch multi-spoke lightweight alloy wheels. Which according to Mercedes can be considered a reinterpretation of the traditional spoked wheels from the 1930s – like the ones used in the legendary 540 K Mercedes dream car.

Under the hood of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG is a powerful twin-turbo V12 6.0-litre engine producing 463kW between 4800 and 5400 rpm with a maximum torque of 1000Nm available between 2300 and 4300 rpm.

This engine is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission, and together this pair enables the high-performance sedan to reach 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds before hitting an electronically limited speed of 250 km/h.

Mercedes-Benz claims the car will return 11.9-litres/100km fuel consumption with CO2 emissions of 279 g/km.

For secure stopping there is an optional ceramic high-performance composite braking system which is more than 20 percent lighter and comes with 420 mm discs and specially painted brake callipers. The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG is also fitted with Magic Body Control system with Road Surface Scan, along with ESP Dynamic Cornering Assist.

Further exclusive design features include the “V12 BITURBO” lettering on the wings and the “S 65 AMG” model badge on the boot lid – both in new, modern typography. The AMG sports exhaust system with its two chrome-plated, separate twin tailpipes is a source of fascination both visually and acoustically.

Available exclusively with a long wheelbase, the2014 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG is scheduled to go on sale March next year.
