Real S65....or fake. Can you help a brotha out??

Just back from the car wash and was side by side with an S65. Guy was a total d i c k and I couldn't even have a conversation with him. He was just too good for an E guy I guess.

Anyway, on the side of the car was "V12Kompressor"......

Shouldn't it have said V12 BiTurbo....was this an AMG wanna be.....or are the S65's badged differently.

Looked nice though.....even though he was 100% a$$.

Go back and laugh at him because he had to rebadge his car so he could feel superior and manly

My advice if you really want one, wait till the new S class comes out... you will most likely be able to pick up a S65 for 120-130K

No way is there a V12 Kompressor S65. It has to be V12 Biturbo. Quad Exhaust with 19 inches 2piece Gunmetal Nutted Amg rims. Easy as hell to spot.

Lol, for what its worth Jackpro1, it might not even be a V12. Perhaps a S500 with rebadege and rekitted everything AMG kits, quad exhaust and blah. lol

Idiot just doens't know 65 is a Biturbo i guess.

Maybe he made himself a brand new engine! What an idiot.

I still don't understand the fake badge thing. Does it really make the people who do it feel better? I mean, what's wrong with a non AMG S class? I would be proud of the car the way it is. I'm proud of my C class, in fact I took the badge off, even though I have a C 320, which you may think would be a reason to leave it on.

NOT AGAIN mashimaro, think or do some basic research before you post! Mercedes does not have a 500hp NA Enjine. Its either a 5.4litre supercharge screw type OR a 5.5litre biturbo that makes 500hp.

Dont make urself look stupid mate. No offense

Freakin idiots. I hate posers. Have them all around in my area. I had a guy in a W211 come up to me in his "E55" with a dual single tip exhaust and start revving at me asking me if mine is real. Quite the funny...
