Outplays Bentley and BMW

The 2007 Mercedes Benz S65 AMG is the best car I ever owned. I have owned a Bentley Continental Flying Spur, a Bentley Arnage, Maserati Quadroppe, and have driven a BMW 760 Li. None can compare to the true luxury car, the S65. For a 604 horsepower V12, I get a great 19.8 miles to gallon highway as an average, and every so often, I get 22. The ride is comfortable. It has agressive AMG styling and performance. To all who look for a true luxury car under $200,000 that (technically) compares to a Maybach 57s or a R-R Phantom, forget Bentley( Let me remind you, thought, the Bentley is good). Go for the excellent 2007 S65 AMG V12 BiTurbo.
Hot Car but not a BMW

I tried this powerhouse after driving BMW's for 10 years. More power than you will ever need (3 sets of tires in 18 months) but still an MB and not a BMW in drivability. Total brake failure (fluid drained out) in the first two weeks didn't help with impression but it was fine after that...no maintenance issues. Front fender is ripe for destruction on high parking bumpers. Traded recently for a winter car (S550 with 4Matic) but will go back to an S65 or BMW 7 series soon....
A most capable carriage

I have owned my 65 for the past 14 years. Firstly, I debadged the car, taking away the V12 Biturbo and AMG emblems. I found them too busy for such a civilized car and I prefer being stealth; that is, not advertising the car’s capabilities. It is not a cheap car to maintain but if you are inclined to take good care of it, you will be rewarded with the mist comfort and sure footedness that a grand sedan can deliver not to mention the awe inspiring propulsion. Forget 0 to 60 numbers; that is not where the car really performs. It is the car’s ability to kick down at triple digit speeds. The exhaust note tells it all as it conveys the sense of urgency that is commensurate with the car’s raw power, but controlled power that is delivered for use seamlessly and without strain. In this day and age, a V12 is clearly over the top but if you can overcome the moral and other social negatives of propelling yourself in a well articulated V12, try the S65. You will not be disappointed.
Great car

This is the absolute best car. It's better than anything I've ever driven. It is worth the price.
