Damn! A new S65. I envy you!

Be sure to write a review for us unlucky enough not to have one.

thanks guys

anyways i didnt step out of my car to take pics cuz i was running late anyways you will get more pics soon.

i paid rounded up to US $ around $252854.81 thats including air fright and plus you have to put in mind in out country we only pay 5% tax towards imported goods and the air fright was around $8156.60 so you can add it up on how much it would cost at your end

That's awsome! It does look great in that color! Where are you from that it would cost you over $250K? I thought that these cars were going for under $200K?

I just came back from the dealership :)

well i am from UAE and the car cost is within the $250k is probably cuz i have ordered it with every possible option plus if you are looking at the current euro rates against the doller it has just being going up and our currency is attached to the doller so it has to go here and there

i am sorry i didnt have time to take pics for you guys but one just had to come up

all cars look this way before they are prepped for delivery,the coil springs on cars have spacers to prevent compression and with the airbag systems the cars are raised up through the computer or more likely the height adjust from inside.the reason for this is to protect the undercarriage as well as the front bumper when loading/unloading onto the truck.

Luky man

I ask here in Italy but nobody know how to see the car.
I send a mail to AMG and waiting for your reply.
What's your colors ?
Why You choose the 19inch wheel when ther's the 20'' ?
Sorry for the question above.
Congratulations.

2fast4u, i don't know how it should be in Italy but i was given this car allocation few months back and i chose the 19" rather than the 20" cuz they are more uniqe any S-Class can have the option of the 20" but the titanium finished alloys 19's are only available for the S65 plus the color is cubenite silver color code is 723 and i hope you get some info and buy one of those cars to say the truth i have driven many cars and this car is just so amazing

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
I believe you when you describe how wonderfull is the S65.
Have you test the S600 before ?
Concerning the wheel I didn't consider what you show me, but ... I prefer the 20 inch design no painted (but this is personal opinion, of course).
What about the stability of the car ?
I test the S500 (s550 for USA market) and I find it too soft.
And the new breakes ?
I know that it's a stupid question but fuel consumption ?
I still waiting for a reply from AMG factory for a test.

Thanks again.

Is cubanite silver the same as pewter in the USA? I think the wheels look great! Drive it in good health.

Very nice. I might have to get my S63 in this color..
Have you done anything to the exhaust? Was the camera mic on extra sensitive? Or is it really THAT loud? Pretty strong for a super-sport luxury sedan. Nice though. Awesome car, I'm jealous!

The 63 isnt out but in the announced cars, the engine is making between 480 and 520 horsepower. The S63 should be 520 or more..
