The S65 AMG Coupe is the new twelve-cylinder top-of-the- range model in the S-Class Coupe series. Unique drive comfort, benchmark performance and exquisite appointments are all hallmarks of this stunning new two-door. Following the S65 AMG and the SL 65 AMG, the new S65 AMG Coupe is the third AMG high-performance car with a V12 engine to come to the United States market. Globally, no other car manufacturer in the world offers such a wide portfolio of twelve-cylinder vehicles as Mercedes-AMG. 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. The AMG V12 delivers a peak output of 621bhp and a maximum torque of 1,000Nm – resulting in effortlessly superior performance and an acceleration from 0-100kmph in 4.0 seconds. The AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic transmission is responsible for transmitting power to the rear axle. The transmission offers three individual modes and the driver can choose between Controlled Efficiency, Sport and Manual by pushing a button on the center console. The S65 AMG Coupe also features a lithium-Ion battery as standard equipment. This innovative technology offers numerous advantages over a conventional battery concept. With a capacity of 78 Ah, the lithium-ion battery replaces both the starter battery and the backup battery – resulting in a weight saving of over 20 kilograms. The car will be available US and European markets as of now, but we think it will make its way to India next year.
