2015 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG Coupe...186 mph of pure luxury

   The 2015 S65 AMG coupe is among the most luxurious and most attractive vehicles on the planet, with ridiculous levels of equipment. First and foremost, it's a beast, a menacing and more evil one that it's V-8 powered S63 sibling.

   This remarkably beautiful and powerful two-door coupe boasts a twin-turbocharged V-12 engine with 621 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. Numbers don't do this stunning car justice, but they are impressive nonetheless. It can sprint to 60 mph in a mere four seconds flat and it's top speed is governed at a satisfying 186 mph. The S65 is equipped with a "Curve Tilting" function, which at speeds between 10 and 111mph actually leans the body of car into the corners like a motorcycle. While this feature seems like it would increase corner speeds, it's really meant to increase the fun of driving the S65.

   The interior of the S65 is just as exciting as the exterior. The cabin is drenched in cross-stitched, nappa leather and the new sports steering wheel allows for perfect control; trimmed with perforated leather in the grip area and a metal insert AMG lettering. The sports seats are exclusively developed for AMG to ensure long-distance comfort. The AMG packs in every imaginable feature from Mercedes-Benz play book and then some. There is a 360-degree parking camera, cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, a standard heads up display, a new touchpad COMAND system, a Burmester surround-sound audio and a 12.2 inch color TFT center display.

   No one talks about personal luxury cars anymore, but the Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG reminds us that they are still out there. There may not be a modern term for them, but a distinction remains between the average luxury car and the one the is so narcissistically over the top that it exists solely for the purpose to serve, appease and pamper it's driver. Personal luxury is getting to choose when to enjoy your car's performance and when the car does the traveling for you. This car proves it.
