S65 AMG spotted on Snelling Ave, St Paul, MN

was coming home from Target after doing some shopping for my new apartment. I see this black S-class coming from the other end. So, I turn my attention to it. I checked the rims....they were AMG rims....So, I thought, okay, its an S55. Therefore, my next move was to check the badge above the front tyre.

V12 Biturbo.

Then I looked at the AMG rims. They were smoked. I look at the rear badge.

S65 AMG.

I was going to shout, but the people in my car don'y know what an S65 AMG is. The rest of the journey home was tough.

I have only seen a handful of S65's spotted in the streets on the net.

I live in a wonderful state....Mr Green

It's like seeing a Lambo out of nowhere.

Someone please tell me approximately how many S65's exist and how often do any of you see them. It's one of the best cars ever made.

There is a CL65 AMG in St Paul. It belongs to the governor, I believe. I saw it at the 2005 Minneapolis Auto Show.

I hear that much less than 500 S65's will be produced in 2006 worldwide! What I'd like to know is........if any other color was ordered other than Black or Bril. Silver? I personally saw an Alabaster White CL65. It is beautiful! Had the gray interior also!

There are tons of these cars in South florida.... Well not tons, but I have personally worked on one S65, 3-4 SL 65's, and a couple CL65's. We have a black CL65 and a black S65 in the showroom right now. Oh and we just got a silver/grey SL65 that is also on the showroom floor.
