Nothing says 'I'm considerably richer than yow' better than an S65 Mercedes-Benz. We drive the Coupe to see if it warrants its astronomical price It's currently the most expensive car in the Mercedes-Benz range, the AMG-fettled coupe version of the firm's trend-setting S-Class.Providing the muscle is a colossal twin-turbo 621bhp 6.0-litre V12 petrol engine. Of course, 621 is a big number, but 1000 is bigger, which just so happens to be the amount of torque in NM at your disposal. Sure, S65s and big numbers go hand in hand, but surely even the most laissez-faire oil baron can't ignore the huge escalations in price across the Coupe line-up. The jump between the £96,000 entry-level S500 and £125,000 S63 might seem steep, but, for an S65, you'll need to find another £57,000.Upgrading from eight to twelve cylinders doesn't have a dramatic effect on drag race performance, either; the S65 is just 0.1sec quicker to 62mph than the S63. Rather, the extra cash brings a unique front end, more standard equipment and the knowledge that you have the biggest number possible on the boot lid. from Autocar RSS Feed http://ift.tt/1IeoZqt
