The Mercedes S65 AMG Coupe is the best Mercedes-AMG currently has to offer. With a starting price of $230,900 (excluding $925 destination and delivery) in the United States, it is also the most luxurious and expensive Benz coupe on offer.



Powered by a 6.0-liter V12 biturbo engine producing 621hp and a monumental 738lb-ft (1,000Nm) of torque, the S65 AMG Coupe sprints from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 4 seconds and has a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h). But don’t expect it to behave like a razor-sharp sports car, because the S65 AMG Coupe is first and foremost about luxury and effortless performance.

Ignition’s Jonny Lieberman drove the mighty coupe on the scenic Mulholland Drive and reached the conclusion that what makes the S65 AMG Coupe stand out are not its performance specs (although they’re really impressive), but the way it combines all that performance with supreme luxury.

Ultimately, it’s a car that can be considered a rival for the Bentley Continental GT Speed and Rolls-Royce Wraith, which speaks volumes of how big of an accomplishment the S65 AMG Coupe is.
