News from MBUSA

We would like to inform you of the discontinuation of AMG S65 Coupe and Cabriolet models for Model Year 2020. Model Year 2019 vehicles will be the final AMG S65 Coupes and Cabriolets to be produced. As these are pull-only allocated vehicles, we encourage you to reach out to potential customers who may be interested in owning one of these final V-12 powered coupes or cabriolets. Please note the deadline for submitting requests into the order banks is End of Business on February 9th, 2019.

Old news, this was announced back in October of 2018.

Here some official news (in German): https://blog.mercedes-benz-passion.c...-der-s-klasse/
More in 2 weeks (in Geneva).

AMG V12 in the SL65/CL65/S65/G65/600/650 was an epic engine... RIP. Hopefully AMG V12 will live on with Pagani.

As used in the Mercedes cars, it was heavy, the auto transmission was outdated, and V8 power had mostly caught up to it. Hopefully AMG will reveal the S65 replacement soon (S73?) which I assume will be the S63 V-8 + hybrid electric. And hopefully the S63 will be around for a while, the 4L V8TT is a real gem and one of the few turbocharged engines that sounds fantastic from the factory.
