I have asked along with others about the breakdown of production numbers by color but like everyone has found, the numbers are only speculative.
I thought it might be fun to ask AI the question and the image attached is what I got in response. Notice how the reply makes reference to this website for data???
My database, which is derived from EPC, shows a total of 64 S65 sedans and 36 S65 coupes produced in 2019.
For the Ruby Black paint (897) it shows only one sedan and one coupe in 2019.
Caveat is that 2019 is the tail end of what's covered by the EPC data, so these numbers may be missing some later vehicles.
My database on MB vehicles started with the SL65, because I own one, but has grown to include other AMG models as well as some non-AMG models with V12 engines.
The base source of the data is the MB EPC (Electronic Parts Catalog), which amazingly has FINs and build data on pretty much every vehicle MB made starting from the early 90's and up to the 2019 model year. Beyond that MB has gone strictly online with their apps, so we will be deprived of data on 2020 vehicles and beyond. MB is pretty secretive with production data. The only official source of data from MB that I'm aware of is their public archive Mercedes Public Archive. It contains some gross totals for most models, but not all.
Here are reports I ran from my database on the S65 Coupe and S65 Sedan. I have found it to not be 100% complete, but it's close.
These are currently the only S models that I have pulled data for.
thanks @jmattoni - I was also scraping EPC but your database seems much wider. (I have some slightly different numbers we could take to DM sometime ) I was also interested in determining how many optional extras were selected - for example for 2015:
heated windshield was only on 19% of cars configured,
surprisingly 37% had the rear fridge (given how much room it takes up!)
86% carbon fiber package (really?)
33% ceramic brakes (I've never seen one for sale yet)
If I understand your PDF - could we interpret that there were approx 1,721 S65 across the production years including final edition (as those utilized the same shells and part, with different colored body panels) Either way, it's quite a few more than I expected given how rarely they show up used.
