This is for you AMG Power:

2006 Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG

This exclusive performance is made possible by the 5980-cc V12 engine developed by Mercedes-AMG. The engine’s credentials are outstanding: maximum output of 450 kW/612 hp is maintained from 4750 to 5100 rpm, while the maximum torque of 1000 Nm can be called on from 2000 to 4000 rpm. Even as low as 1000 rpm, the AMG V12 biturbo engine already delivers 570 Nm of torque to the crankshaft, while 750 Nm is on tap at 1500 rpm.

The new Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG is celebrating its world premiere at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on January 8, 2006. Its ultra-powerful AMG 6.0-litre V12 biturbo engine delivers performance that many sports car drivers can only dream about: it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and 0 to 200 km/h in just 13.3 seconds (provisional figures). The top speed is 250 km/h (electronically limited).

The look of the car is growing on me, especially with this AMG model, however, the interior stills looks out of place - that dash pod for the screen looks like an afterthought

I agree.
Having said that, it reminds me of something that Chrysler would do.

i kinda like the front fender, but the rear is kinda out of proportion or smth.

I thought Benz (and AMG) was starting to go with N/A engines for all their new line ups? Imagine a 612HP N/A 6.0L V12?

Nope, infact the new N/a 6.3 515 hp engine will have a very short life span, And will be replaced wither with 6.3 twin turbo engine, or some other FI engine.

The article also mentions some disappointing news for fans of the AMG-developed M156 engine (N/a 6.3). According to the story, due to high costs, the M156 is already approaching the end of its short lifespan. Instead, Mercedes will probably opt to use their newly introduced V8 paired with a supercharger.


Btw here's the new CLK63 with 483hp and 460ft of trq. coming in summer.
