2008 S65 Flint Grey/Black. Wife's car: 1/5/10 2010 E550 Palladium Silver/Natural Beige Leather P2 +
I spanked a Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT today on HWY 280 near Sand Hill Road. I was going over 140 MPH before I needed to exit. He was stunned. Don't know WHY...but I think he wanted to throw his car away after that little spin. He looked like he was 21. He'll learn as he gets older.

Call me lazy. The F1 is sweet. But the revs with a stick are sweet as well. 80% of F430 are F1 however.

God damn does the 07' S65 eat pavement at a remarkable, comfortable yet very controllable rate. MB did it right on this one. Worth every penny.

IMO- there is no comparision! The S65 & the 550 has a heritage that the current Bentley or any other car for that matter can approach... Generations of exceptional luxury sedan heritage! I could not drive a Bentley knowing that I had a VW rig under the hood!
While the new S-Class has become incredibly popular and yes it is difficult to realize that exclusivity vibe driving an S65 it is still the BEST (ULTIMATE) LUXURY SEDAN at any price. Here in Miami the S is quickly becoming as common as the E-Class but I still would not drive anything else... and yes I am now in complete pursuit of acquiring an S65 shortly after a GL.
You can spend more but it will not be better than the S-Class!
