In 2005 at the Frankfurt Motor Show Mercedes-Benz introduced the fifth generation of its range-topping S-Class. In line with established practice, in time there would be several models available featuring performance enhancements by AMG. Now the official performance division of Mercedes-Benz, AMG has a long history of producing high-performance derivatives of Mercedes' standard production vehicles, and these improved versions enjoy an enthusiastic following world-wide, with prominent figures of the motor sports, entertainment, sport and business communities being counted among aficionados.

Unveiled at the 2006 Detroit Motor Show, the S 65 AMG was powered by a 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12 engine producing a maximum of 612PS (604bhp) and a mighty 1,000Nm (738lb/ft) of torque. Compared with its lesser siblings the S 65 AMG featured larger wheels, brakes and tyres; four exhaust pipes; modified and reprogrammed suspension for more responsive handling; and various changes to the interior.

Delivered new in France, this left-hand drive, 5-speed automatic transmission S65 AMG is finished in Obsidian Black with an Exclusive Leather Black/Anthracite interior.
