MERCEDES BENZS 65 AMG (W222) 2013 - 2017

　　Mercedes-Benz unveiled the S65 AMG in 2013 as the most potent German luxury sedan on the market, even though it was not the fastest one.

　　Launched simultaneously at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show and Los Angeles International Auto Show, the S65 AMG represented the top-of-the-range version for the German premium brand's flagship. It was available as a long-wheelbase only and just a rear-wheel-drive. Among the enhancements added to the specific version were the Magic Body Control suspension system, the carbo-ceramic dinner-dish disc-brakes, and the best performance options developed by AMG.

　　From the outside, the S65 AMG stated its intentions as a high-performance limo thanks to the enhanced AMG-style front bumper with an A-shaped lower grille. A pair of side scoops flanked it to cool the massive 420 mm (16.5") diameter disc brakes. A set of not-so-subtle chromed "V12 Biturbo" badges adorned the front fenders behind the wheel-arches. From its sides, the 20" forged light-alloy wheels sported fat tires both front and back.

　　Inside, the carmaker installed a luxurious, leather-clad interior. Most of the options from the rest of the S-Class range as standard features, such as the panoramic sliding roof, the Burmeister sound system, or the TFT display for the instrument panel, were fitted as standard on the S65 AMG. On top of that, a head-up display kept the driver better focused on the road.

　　With a 6.0-liter engine under the hood and a price tag in the Bentley range, the S65 AMG was one of the fastest luxury sedans in the world.
