Vadim, can you take pictures for us?
Does the S65 W221 have anything different body kit wise such as the 030 package does on the SL55 (to make it look similair t the SL65)?

The 2007 W221 S65 has the F1 styled bumper, ABC, and the usual run of gizmos on it with the 5spd transmission.

I do not have my camera with me today. I will try to take pictures tomorrow.

The front facia is different from S550 AMG package. It is more defined and has different fog lamps.

That was quick!

Hey Vadim, can you do me (and us, I suppose) a huge favor? Ask MBUSA about getting a W221 S65 with the AMG Alacantra Sport Steering wheel instead of the standard wood/leather one (the paddle-less one). For me, that's a deal breaker, really.

Thanks in advance for your time, efforts, and information.

Heard that S65 can now be spec'd for US w/leather sport steering wheel w/paddles, and S63 will have the sports steering wheel/paddles.....

May want to also consider relative traction of S65 vs S63, esp for rainy weather commuting....I believe absent had indicated he heard from Rob Allan that S63 will be a near-term intro...so will be able to do back-to-back comparo shortly....

At this time it is not listed in ordering guide.
My guess it has something to do with specific US air bag certifications.
You might have to go aftermarket though SteveNL to get it.

How soon were you thinking on ordering S65?

Thanks, Vadim.

Nothing to do with the regs,call Robert Allan at MBNA and request the sport wheel with paddles for the S65.

...........yep. Same engine, same transmission, heavier and thus probably slower than W220 S65. give it six more months and the prices will be in the $150K's.
