There are AMG fans for whom our V12 biturbo engine is the measure of all things. For this clientele Mercedes-Benz have developed a car in the form of the new S65 AMG Coupe.

According to Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG, this “new twelve-cylinder coupe surpasses even the highest of expectations.”
