Mercedes S65 AMG

This is one performance ubermobile! Spotted at Damansara Heights ... slurrrrrrrp!



I checked on Wikipedia ... What's AMG?
Mercedes-AMG is the high performance division of the Mercedes-Benz car company. Mercedes-Benz acquired majority interest in AMG in 1998.
AMG or Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach was founded in 1967 as AMG Motorenbau und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH (AMG Engine Production and Development, Ltd.) by former Mercedes engineers Hans-Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher in a town near Stuttgart called Großaspach."AMG" is an abbreviation that stands for: Hans Werner Aufrecht (A) and Eberhard Melcher (M) who were partners, while Aufrecht’s birthplace of Großaspach (G) supplied the third letter in the company name.

And for this particular W221 'supercar' ... The S 63 AMG and the S 600 makes the same sprint in about 4.6 seconds. The twin-turbo V12 in the S 65 AMG is also found in Mercedes roadster SL 65 AMG.

I think those are prices in Malaysia ... here in Abu Dhabi, MUCH better value :-)

It all starts off at about RM$300K for a S350 V6

Or... if you wanna splurge, RM$600K for an all singing S600 AMG

This is obviously not an S65 AMG. Most likely a modified S350 V8 to look like an S65. We can see that if it is a S65, the exhaust pipes would be joint into 2 pipes sharing one chassis. But this has individual chassis so it is most likely to be modified. The tyres should be bulging out as if it is an AMG due to suspension purposes. A S65 AMG is easily to be worth a million+ because it is assembled in Germany and imported. Well, better luck next time.
