I'd go for the V12. It's a luxury cruiser and nothing says luxury cruiser better than a V12.

I would want the V12 simply because it's rare, exclusive, distinguished and expensive as hell. Besides, there's a really weird thing that happens when you own a powerful car like this. You lose the desire or need to "prove" yourself. AD3

Armánd Dotsey I know I am late with my comment. For me it all comes down to exclusiveness. Yes a lambo Aventador or huracan are dope... But this is from a different dimension. It's way more luxurious, exclusive and as you put it... Rare. With this car in your garage YOU could have bought one of the Lambos... But ... There is really no comparison between them and this... Except the pricetag. The S65 is like motoman says... The proverbial drop of the microphone...

Had the opportunity to drive this beautiful model (in Silver) 450 miles to deliver it to the owner in time for Christmas 2017. It had 11,000 miles on it, and I picked it up from the dealership where it still enjoyed the showroom floor. It was in perfect, as new, condition. After a brief introduction to the systems, we departed with my co-pilot answering questions from the owners manual as they came up, and they came up quickly. The airline I used to fly for, would make a two week ground school out of the systems followed by a week in the simulator and a cross country checkout with a check airman before turning you loose to haul passengers. By the time we got to destination, we were just beginning to understand and appreciate this awesome machine, and both of us regretted the trip was over.

Niki Smart described it perfectly "About The Journey, Where Time Really Wasn't An Issue, You Are Not In a Rush, You Are Really There To Enjoy The Vehicle" A V12 is a very special experience ... all those cylinders All that torque ... something to admire & enjoy! A V12 GT means you are in for something special & truly "Magical". That Emerald Green is frickin Gorgeous & that Saddle Leather, Black Alcantra, Striped Veneer & Chrome Wheels combination is Perfection On Wheels. I completely agree, that Silver On Grey Combination (I call it The Audi Special) is awful ... It didn't do the car any justice at all. You know me, I'm a V8 man, but if I got the opportunity to go for the V12, I'll do it in a Heartbeat ! ... Heck I'd do a V12 conversion if I could. A Slow Clap to AMG for creating a V12 SUV in this day & age ... I've been looking forward to this episode M! And you did not disappoint ... As always excellent video! Now since you drove the entire S range, is the Maybach 600 next? Its the only one left.

@noahcasimirtiefenberg1581 6 жыл бұрын

If I had the money... I would buy this in a heartbeat over any super or hypercar... Have you ever seen the inside of an Lamborghini? Yes Ferraris are dope... But no super or hypercar brings you as comfortably from a to b as the s65 does. And people will still twist their heads in awe when they hear or see you in this...

First time watcher and immediate subscriber. Wonderful presentation of the ultimate Benz. My favourite Mercedez-Benz,this one really does have it all. Great looks, two doors, a monster 12 cylinder engine etc. I’m not sure if the s63 non 4matic version would be more engaging to drive. According to the Chris Harris Video he fancies the s63 coupe and having watched him tear it up around the track would have to agree. Setting a future gal for myself to one day own one of these.

I came to this vid several years late because I'm currently looking to pick up a pre-owned one. Excellent vid, however you were incorrect on 1 fairly big point: the firing order. That Mercedes V12 and the Aston V12 are both odd-fire. Feel free to look it up, but you can also hear it in how "lumpy" they both sound at low RPM levels, like a V8--which are also usually odd-fire. Both the Lamborghini and Ferrari V12's are indeed even-fire, and both sound "smoother" at low revs and "scream" at high revs. Now, the Mercedes M120 V12 from the early 90's WAS an even fire engine, and when used in the Zonda, it screamed too. I presume that Mercedes went to odd-fire on this generation of V12's to get more torque down low in the rev range, which tends to be an odd-fire characteristic.

That deep-sounding V12 is rare nowadays, and much appreciated. I like the sound of the V12 harmony, but my soft reptile ears pay the price when they pick up the horrible shrieks of the likes of Aventador and FXX. The AMG V12 is therefore a winner.

MB is getting their act together. This car is sex on wheels (although I would prefer it in midnight blue metallic/saddle). I have always been a big coupe guy. I grew up in the 60's when cars like 65 Buick Riviera's and 64 Thunderbirds (along with others) ruled the roads. I am glad to see a return of a really statement car that is a big coupe. I would take the V12 4Matic version all day long over a rear drive S63. Just my opinion.

The 5.5L TT AMG V8 fitted to the E63s 4 matic. The reason is due to the level of both performance and perfection of the driving. Also because it's considered just another Mercedes it would go unnoticed and attract minimal attention.

Great review! Love your technical input. Never enough. I’d insist on the w-12 as I believe that it will appreciate over time (maybe a long long holding period). But scarcity and uniqueness are traits fostering appreciation. The smoothness would be fun. The sound? I’m unsure if this exhaust system allows you to hear it much. That can be fixed i gather, at great expense.

@aspietoo 4 жыл бұрын

Re: green - surely you must know this is the rarest of all MB colours - when they offer it as a choice you will almost never see it amongst all the black, white, and grey, sometimes punctuated by tenorite or selenite grey. Robert Deniro's line was "they say geniuses pick green" in meet the Fockers. The CL coupes have always been very limited production and so it goes with the S coupes - with the only competing color to that fabulous green the dark cherry red that looks black. Fabulous car - and although I've driven a V-12 S class, I'd "settle" for the 550 V8 version or take an S63 if one came up. Perhaps you haven't seen the youtube video of MB removing a V-12 from the bottom of the car to work on the twin turbos... but why concern yourself with such things if you can afford one!

Excellent information in this review! Only complaints, are terrible shots of the car. You talk about the paint job so highly, yet there are no panning shots all around the car in decent light to see it, we simply look at the headlights, front-end with the hood up, zoom-in on the tailpipes, and brief fly by's on the road. Otherwise, pretty good review.

The S65 Coupe is an amazing Grand Touring car...but at 4850 pounds give or take, they are a lot more compelling cars to drive down a winding canyon road...It makes my M6 seem lithe in comparison...or even my E55 for that matter. The S65 AMG Sedan has much more utility to it from my perspective...

yes, it reads the road ahead of you and keeps the vehicle relatively flat while going through a turn however you get a slight dip to the inside corner. It almost feels as if the vehicle turns in past the turn in you set via the steering wheel, but it doesn't feel like it's going to slide. Rather it feels like you're attached to a rail.

Stunning car. I would definitely choose the v12. It's unfortunate that this engine almost always seem to come with a compromise or two. Wasn't the previous generation s65 a 5 speed auto since their newer MCTs couldn't handle the torque? Now with the new one it has the torque converter that you said takes some away from the experience. Dear Santa.....

Without the 4MATIC, how is traction in a straight line with that much torque? Seems like most car companies (BMW/Mercedes especially and Audi already of course), are making 4-MATIC, XDrive etc standard in their heavier, higher torque cars (new BMW M5, Merc S63 etc) in order to keep the car grounded with all the torque.
