2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class



The S-Class is the large flagship of the Mercedes line and a car that a lot of competitors benchmark. The S-Class range includes a short wheelbase S350, 3 V8 models and 2 V12 powered models ranging in price from the mid-60s to over $150,000. The ultimate S-Class is the new S65 AMG, which sports a twin-turbo V-12 and massive, tire-liquefying torque. Mercedes-Benz claims the S65 AMG is the fastest 4-door sedan available. In typical Mercedes manner, the S65 AMG barely hints at the awesome power under the hood. Only the truly discerning will be able to identify the S65 AMG badges on the trunklid. Even with its larger wheels, fat tires, and Brembo brakes, the S65 AMG is a truly an undercover executive sedan.
