Testing a high-end coupé
Testing a high-end coupé

Besides the awe-inspiring looks of the S65 AMG coupe, whose keys were dangling from MY belt, there was the eye popping performance of the six cylinder V2 bi-turbo engine coupled with the most amazing technology, Mercedes-Benz's Magic Body Control suspension system. Wow!
The interior was as plush as a G6 and the acceleration almost as fast. This is motor car manufacturing taken to the next generation. That throaty roar, coupled with the sensational acceleration all tied together with supreme luxury and I was surprised I didn't faint while driving this car.
The model I test drove was equipped with the eye popping AMG ceramic brakes, giving the added stopping power a car with 463 kilowatts and 1000 Newton metres of torque can well use.
Other extras that were included in the test car were the LED High Performance headlamps, each containing 47 Swarovski crystals. Needless to say I made an impression wherever I went that week. You should get one.
