Twelve cylinders. Twin-turbochargers. 621 hp and 738 lb-ft: Yeah, Mercedes-Benz's new S65 AMG sounds like a monster, and we mean that as a compliment.
Mercedes says the S65 “sets new standards as the most powerful vehicle in its segment.” We have no reason to doubt this.
This is the third-generation S65. The first-gen was launched in 2003 (2005 in the U.S.), and the second was produced from 2006 until 2013. The newest version's 6.0-liter biturbo V12 propels the car to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds with an electronically limited 155 mph top speed. The engine boasts an aluminum crankcase, forged crankshaft, multi-spark ignition, even start/stop. Of course, the V12 is hand assembled at AMG in keeping with the “one man, one engine” philosophy.
