Mercedes has revealed the new version of its S-Class Coupe, the S65 AMG.

Thanks to its twin turbo V12 engine with 630hp, combined with a Speedshift seven-speed automatic transmission, the new coupe can go from 0 to 100km/h in 4.1 seconds. Its top speed is electronically limited at 250km/h.

In terms of efficiency, the  S65 AMG Coupe consumes 23.7 liters of fuel per 100km, which translates into CO2 emissions of 279g/km.

The S65 AMG Coupe offers a wealth of driver assistance features under the heading of the Intelligent Drive system.

This suite of technologies includes everything from night vision assistance to Bas Plus assisted emergency braking and driver fatigue alerts.

The car is also equipped with systems designed to avoid accidents, detect pedestrians and alert the driver in the case of lane departure.

Perhaps the most impressive technology on the new coupe, however, is Magic Body Control, an active suspension system that actually detects road conditions and adapts the suspension configuration accordingly.

The car is even capable of leaning into the curves of the road to reduce the effects of transversal acceleration on the passengers.

Activated at speeds of between 30 and 180km/h, the technology is designed to contribute both to the comfort and safety of the vehicle’s passengers.
