2015 S65 621hp / 738 lbft
Per Jalopnik:
If there were people out there who somehow believed that the S63's 5.5-liter, 585 horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 engine just wasn't enough, then this is the car for them. Like its four-door sibling the 2015 S65 AMG sedan, the coupe packs a 6.0-liter biturbo V12 with 621 horsepower and a stunning 738 pound-feet of torque.
And the S65 coupe has excess in spades, with an interior and exterior that are stunning in design, technology like Magic Body Control, a lithium-ion battery that replaces both the starter battery and backup battery, a camera that adjusts the chassis based on curves and changes in the surface of the road, optional ceramic high-performance composite brakes, and just about everything else you'll ever need in a car and probably a bunch of stuff you don't but that is amazing anyway.
Interestingly, and unlike the lesser (if you can call it that) S63 AMG coupe, the S65 coupe does without 4Matic all-wheel drive and instead sends power exclusively to the rear wheels. That's more fun anyway, right?
The new S65 coupe goes on sale at the end of this year. Pricing hasn't been announced, but Motor Trend guesses it will sticker around $215,000.

I'll buy one.... In eight years when I can afford it 
btw the "new" V12's have a new ignition coil configuration. No more coil issues, fingers crossed.

What makes this a better buy over the S63 ? better colors ? seating cabin ? rear entertainment ? What's exclusive to only S65 other than the engine ?

Almost everything is standard, different engine, chrome grilles in the front, chrome accents on front and rear bumper vs. matte aluminum on the 63. If you spec a 63 with the same features as the 65 (speaking of the S-Class sedan) then the price difference is more like $30,000 between the two cars vs. $80,000.
