This, to spell out the bleedingly obvious, is a very expensive, V12-powered, AMG-badged S-Class. And it fulfils the usual AMG S-Class tropes, such as possessing enough power to run a small village and enough torque to pull said village down. Or 630 horsepower and 737 lb ft, if you"re the kind of person who needs numbers instead of absurdist analogies. Other numbers include 130, for the number of special-edition S65s Mercedes will build, 20 inches of wheel diameter per corner, 186 miles an hour in the kinds of places you"re allowed to, and zero, for the number of effs given with its black-and-bronze colour scheme. One number we don"t have is the price, but we can say that a standard" S65 costs more than 180,000, so you can safely assume this one won"t come in any cheaper. Rather troublingly, it"s named the Final Edition", which, unfortunately, means it is the last time you"ll see a V12 powering an S-Class.
