What IS that stopwatch display? That is very hot. Do only the AMG versions have that?

"Race-Timer" new feature.

"Allows the driver to calculate laptimes". Stores fastest lap, laptime, average speed, lap distance -- all recallable through function buttons on steering wheel.

I think it is on more models than just the S65....

It's not on the standard S and since "AMG" is highlighted in the dash display (the "AMG" display not available on S550/600) I would assume it is only available on AMG models...which ones I don't know.

Yeah that is the new Racetimer function. I think all the new AMG models for 07 have this.

I just saw one this morning on the "ready for pick-up" floor at my local dealer. Black. It was gorgeous.

Interesting to note the little differences... no only were the gauges and gauge font different, but the analog clock had a BLACK face. Still had plain jane AMG wheels, tho.

The sticker? $191k. Too bad it only got 13 mpg, or else I'd have traded in mine on the spot.

The S550 only gets an extra mile per gallon so it shouldn't be an issue. Think about all the additional power that will be available to you.

Nope... it gets 16 mpg. Dealbreaker.

Those 2 mpg's could mean being stuck in the middle of a highway, or being able to drive to the gas station.

My SL550 has the same engine and is a few hundred pounds lighter and the mileage is less at 14 mpg city..... kind of odd isn't it?

The S550 also gets 25.8 mpg at average speed of 63 mph covering 5000+ miles door to door.

We are saved by the "dealbreaker" mileage figures J...thank god for small favors...:-)))

Very true, but the tank holds close to 24 gallons. Unless someone enjoys riding around on fumes, it shouldn't be to much of a concern.

I have had modified muscle cars that require either blue CAM2 or VP c14 which can run anywhere from $6-$8 a gallon while only getting 5-6 mpg yet that never prevented me from driving.
Point is if it's your proud and joy, a few less mpg or having to pay more for premium fuel it should not be a factor for anyone enjoying their car especially an S65 at 190k.

Yes, they are also pictured in the passenger side of the SL if you look closely.
