S221 AMG and ML 350 AMG

A friend of mine from Europe called and wanted some info about MB here in states. He told me the model number of S221. I called the dealer here and he didnt know what I was talking about. Are S221 in Europe same as S63 in US?

Also I was lookin for ML350 AMG in this forum and didnt see it under AMG machines, is it just an optional upgrade or is it a separate package?


Thx.

Your friend probably confused "S-class" and the fact that the current S class platform is designated W221 (the prev. generation S class was W220 and the one before that W140, etc etc)

The current S class models in the US, which you can see on MBUSA's website, are:

S550
S600
S63 AMG
S65 AMG


Also I was lookin for ML350 AMG in this forum and didnt see it under AMG machines, is it just an optional upgrade or is it a separate package?
There is no such thing. The only ML AMG is the ML63 (and the ML55 before it)

FYI, AMG models sold in the US are shown here:

There is no ML350 AMG. However you can (or could) get the AMG package which is just appearance stuff on the ML350.

and S designation before a chassis number can also signify the Estate or Wagon (as known in the US)

W for saloon / sedan
S for estate / wagon
CL for coupe

for example the 203 C-Class 2001-2007 can be found as a W203 / S203 / CL203.
