What's your favorite application of the Mercedes-AMG BiTurbo V12?
Has to be the W215 CL 65 AMG!
My favourite application for such a car would be a nice long drive with the top down along the coastal roads of the South of France! 🤣
S65 SEDAN. Bro why not get your hands on the AMG S65 V12 Final Edition and review that as well.
That would be my 2007 SL65 AMG with ecu and tcu remapping by Renn-Tech
Having driven almost every modern Mercedes with a V12…. All of them
9:46 that upshift couldn't have been timed more perfectly, sounds like a bang as it echoes under the bridge
I giggled a little. I couldn't believe it either
@@TedwardDrives You just couldn't contain the giggle. Loved it! :D
It made me jump a bit. Speakers were loud :) Got my blood pumping.
Ted really just lives the life bro, my man drives all the new & old cars for a living. What a legend
I'm super jealous, but at the same time I ain't even mad. I'm glad I get to see all these cool cars being driven.
I get to do the same but his job definitely looks better than mine lol
That’s my boy
Be with him.
S65s are indeed the luxury pagani huayras
How are huaryas not luxury
@@anvilgames2421 your not wrong in a way but its super obvious what he meant... it’s almost like you didn’t even try to understand what he said.
@@anvilgames2421 they are sporty not luxury
@@edgar6051 sporty? Paganis are pretty infamous for not handling well. Take a look at their interiors, they're more luxury than any standard mercedes will ever be.
@@kantina4765 yeah Paganis are basically designer handbags on wheels.
I understand an EV is faster and doesn't pollute like a V12 and all that, but we're going to miss the sound, vibrations, character from this masterpiece of an engine. With a nice headset, i can guarantee you'll have goosebumps listening to this video.
Part of my 3 car dream garage-this, rs6 avant, caterham super 7
excellent taste
This is the pinnacle of cars. Fast, sporty, good looking, comfortable, good gas mileage... wait.
😂

I can tell you all from DAILY experience this car is even MORE amazing in real life than is even being portrayed in this video and did an incredible job. I’m going to miss the V-12 as the new one (that’s taking almost 1 year and a half and still hasn’t been delivered yet) will have a V8 twin turbo. Mercedes says it’ll actually be faster. They shortened the wheelbase and it’s a bit lighter. Thankfully I’ll get to confirm that claim cause this baby is staying with us forever. Last V-12 they’ll ever make. It’s officially collector status now. Also the breaking on this vehicle is SUPERB as well as the night vision and the side bolster support. You can set how much you want the side bolsters to hug you btw. Not many daily drivers in existence I’d trade this masterpiece for.
AMG needs to put a V12 in the new SL, bring back the SL65
That would be great
Awesome love the Mercedes 6.0 litre V12 BITURBO from AMG, just the sound. Gorgeous interior and exterior. This engine produces 621HP 738lb-Ft of Torque just mind blowing.
The V12 engine is the holy grail of the automotive industry.
Nice engine throttle response!! I loved that sound!!!
Asbolute gem of a car, the 65 AMG variation is always my favorite of the Mercedes line up, so much unnecessary awesome!
That dashboard is absolutely one of the best Mercedes interior design. Compared to this design, the new S class is nothing imo. E class took some ideas from this but still this one is way better.
Yeah best mb interior. This is the ultimate s class imo (W222)
True, but now it looks dated, which is surprising to me.
@@Chazlovesburnouts I absolutely agree, the W221 is special but the W222 absolutely blows it out of the water, just wish they’d put the M159 out of the SLS in this.
gotta love the s65 for keeping it classy while still having the brutal v12
Love the sound of a 12 cylinder starter.
As usual a good video! And what a wonderful car!! Greetings
from Sweden.
What an absolutely beautiful car. The shift snarls sound so cool with a convertible.
9:45 he knew what he was doing
I just love this stunning car. An S Class convertible ... how awesome.
One of my favorite
luxury cars.
welp, i’ve never been this early before! just wanted to say, your videos are awesome and they always make my day better. keep it up!!
Thank you so much!!
After putting 90k mi on one: yes, you can fit 2 golf clubs (and a pushcart!) in the trunk. A VRP tune opens this to a reliable 960ft/lbs. Maintenance is not extravagant. Bespoke rotors ($5000/pair, changed every other brakepad) are the only surprises.
Great Dad car.
Best convertible of all Time!
great review! 10/10
S65 is a beast , amazing car
This is my favorite car. I love the video and the thoughts you have in the machine. I know the thing is very expensive to maintain and blah blah. I don’t care about British motors like Bentley but I love German engineering with classical vibes. German cars are very nice to drive. It gives man a superpowers. German car almost feels like body extension.
Great video! Especially great when the AMG V12 has permanently left us.
"I gotta slow down"
Then just blasts off 😂
Hahaha that RS5 wanted no parts of the S65 AMG at the end 🤣🤣 nice review as always Tedward!!
He didn't wanna get smoked by a grandpa Benz! 🤣
@@RyanRoadReaper yeah grandpa Benz..
Tell me more about being caught in stereotypes.
I really hope I’ll end up being a grandpa that enjoys his Sunday trip to church in a V12 Biturbo!
@@rolux4853 don't get me wrong, I love Benz's, but they have that stereotype for a reason.
I was just talking about these with one of my friends lol. I wish they still made the V12 mercs.
This, and a G Wagon, are the perfect dailies for the Newport families
New or old it doesn't matter Mercedes will always be my favorite
Aside from the very real possibility of having my license revoked within a couple weeks, this would make one hell of a daily driver.
S65 was truly an experience. Can't believe Mercedes killed this car off and pulled the V12 from everything but the MayBach. Don't tell me no one bought S65 Cabriolets, I'd never believe you.
Great car, laughably short on rear seat and trunk space. I always love a pillarless design. Too bad about the uninspired color combo on something with a pretty much endless choice available.
Agreed on the colors! Far too many Mercedes are black or silver, with a black interior. Look to Bentley for an idea of what exotic colors can do for a car.
an M240i with an exhaust sounds very similar to this haha, guess this is deeper in person though
I really didn't expect to be into this car at all, but it's actually pretty awesome... I really apreciate these videos because of that. im usually just into japanese cars like the new GR Corola, but i always watch these videos to expose myself to more types of cars and their communities. I'm definitely impressed with this one.
Great vehicle !
What a beast! It's such a shame that the new S-class will never have the presence and elegance of the W222 platform...
Great video. ☺️
Agree completely, this is way more intriguing than the Maybach.
Would love to see a w140 s600 if you could ever get one in. Those things scream and there fun
"Oily fuel smell" should be something Febreeze sells. Maybe scented candles, too.
Do please s 63 facelift. That would be awesome!
Imo Mercedes-Benz lineup of this generation is insane. If you want a cheaper option, a similar speced S500 Cabrio with "just" 455hp is half the price of this.
Pretty sure once more, Hoovies garage added this to his "watch for later" ;) list
Wow has the same rear arm rest/cup holders as my 2010 E-Class
What a car 😍
love a S coupe!
topless reviews, hmmm could you find a Bentley Continental SC? 1 of my all time fav cars
If they could of managed to make a 4matic version of this car, It would of been the best car ever made in my opinion.
this gen s-class is much nicer than the new gen imo
Great video as always. And I'm sure every financial advisor would acknowledge the wisdom of spending an extra $70,000 over the SL63 AMG, for an almost-identical car that is slower zero to sixty and whose value will drop like a rock the day it is driven off the lot. ):
My absolute favourite segment of cars: big ass convertible 4 seater gts. This or an 8 series Cabrio are my dream cars at the moment. I can't believe how expensive this was and the colour combo being so "lame": black with black interior and black roof. The problem is that no one wants to properly maintain them and these are money pits after the third owner hasn't even done an oil change. I adore and at the same time hate how "discrete" this can be, that lady didn't even mind it but someone who knew would phreak out
If I owned this, I wouldn't even be mad being called a grandpa
Very fast from rolling start
13:00 idk to me those paddles are too small, but I have also been spoiled. If Alfa can put great paddles on 3 series fighter, merc should put bigger ones on the AMGs. Though I’m not sure if I would actually use the paddles often in that cabrio, it’s supposed to be relaxing, but it’s still a V12 with enough torque to rotate the earth so I’m sure it would be fun.
I think they’re perfect because it’s no meant to be a sports car. Plus most the people that own these will never even use them 😂
@@Cle_M3 I could see that happening. To each their own.
So jealous right now!!!
Sublime
I have 15 years to decide between one of these or a bently contenital GTC w12
this is such a big dream for me
they should have kept this dashboard style.
Mercedes s65 amg biturbo v12 omg speed 😲
Overloaded luxury
Staying warm isn't the problem not melting is
comment from germany
Bro feels so good to be the first one to comment. Also love the car :)
Grace is the word.. its the word! 🤣❤
LOL the best outro
This car is amazing it's beautiful,brutal and elegant men i want one 😍
5:28 as we say in germany:
*B-Säule Yok*
wow, amazing car< that was the perfect ending with the Audi merging in lol. I'd think the only car that might get close, is the S600 Coupe/Cabriolet, I think that would be more on the luxury side and this one has a more sporty touch.
What a dream car except I would go with the s63 because I prefer the v8 sound
I’d love to take this from the Metropolitan Opera house in New York to Daytona international speedway
i cant begin to imagine how many speeding fines the owner has gotten in that car.
Please review a (2012) Genesis Sedan 5.0 R-Spec 😩
Mine seatbelt butler is broken on my 2006 clk 😅
Magic carpet
Where is that backroad with the lake beside it? im in the boston area looking for good driving roads.
When is the SL65 black series video coming?:)
It came out over a year ago
th-cam.com/video/GBHxc_PToHU/w-d-xo.html
Does it look like it could use an alignment? Or if it just me?
Sorry for the stupid question, are you shifting this yourself with buttons?
3:10 does anyone else see the robot face when Tedward pinched its cute little nose?
FOOT POUNDS!
The proper term for torque in English units is the pound-foot, which we can find abbreviated any number of ways, such as lb.-ft., lb-ft, lb/ft, and so on. However, a foot-pound is a unit of work. Engines certainly do produce work as well as power, but in this case torque is the property in reference.
Where can you do 80 to 160 though
a really ballaballa- car
mercedes pls bring back the v12
You can deduct the depreciation from taxes if it was company car. 100% of lost value in the first year. Correct me if im wrong.
This thing is nasty. In the good way.
niceeee
wish bmw did more with their v12 before retiring it.
Compared to Mercedes' V-12's, Bmw's V-12's were pantywaists.
@@MDavidG1 dont forget mclaren f1 uses a bmw v12 (or i thought). bmw's v12 only made ~20 less HP that mercedes. but what made mercedes way better is how they made the exhaust sound. its legendary, bmw never made theirs sound nice. idk why they ever even offered a v12 in the 7.
Looks like this dealership can't get rid of this car
Very cool car but you gotta blur that speedo man!
No, bird is the word. I SAID A BIRD BIRD BIRD, BIRD IS THE WORD.
17:05 Did you just call this boat a true drivers car?!
Yes bcs its a really fun car
Does the neck warmer work ?
No
if you're going to drop $250k, why not go full baller on a Rolls convertible
6:18 looks like green screen
Is it me, or does it kinda sound like a Huayra?
Same engine
@@ivanweapon1196 Yeah, I did some research on it and it turns out it's the same engine, which is pretty cool.
Forget The Aston, this is the ultimate James Bond car.
Nope
