Mercedes likes its V12s. It offers many of its Big Cars with them: cars like the S65 Saloon, SL65 Roadster, G65 and S65 Coupe. Now meet the newest member of Merc"s 12-cylinder family: the 6.0 litre S65 AMG Cabriolet.Yep, a four-seat, convertible version of Merc"s delightful S65 Coupe, with 621 horses and more torque than you will ever require in this or any other life. There is 737lb ft of it, available from 2,300rpm.That AMG engine, hand-built by a single technician don"t forget, features a pair of turbochargers and juicy stuff like an aluminium crankcase and a forged steel crankshaft. It"s mated to a seven-speed automatic gearbox with many modes, powering the rear wheels.As such, the S65 Cab will achieve some startling acceleration figures. 0-62mph takes just 4.1 seconds, and it"ll top out at a limited 155mph. Tick the AMG Driver"s pack, and this top speed rises to 186mph. Which is still limited. Let it off the leash, and you"d probably end up going very, very quickly.
