When it comes to big-time debuts for respected automakers like Mercedes-Benz there are few world stages more renowned than the North American International Auto Show that takes place in Detroit, Michigan every year. As the home to the oldest auto brands in the U.S., Detroit serves as a great landing spot every year for several exciting new automobiles, and this year it was the stage for the debut of the undeniably gorgeous and lavish Mercedes-AMG® S65 Cabriolet.
As the range-topping model in the lauded S-Class, this drop-top offers some of the most gorgeous aesthetics and powerful drivetrains of any vehicles in the Mercedes-Benz stable. Thanks to its massive V12 engine, the S65 is capable of running up 630 hp and a whopping 738 lb-ft of torque, all of which shows why fans of Mercedes-Benz in FL should be so excited about the forthcoming release of this amazing automobile.
"The customer base for our V12 biturbo engine expects the ultimate in every respect,” said Tobias Moers, Chairman of Mercedes-AMG®. “That is why we are offering a four-seater high-performance convertible with this legendary power unit for the first time. The new S65 Cabriolet sets benchmarks for all relevant criteria: top performance, a breathtaking driving experience and exquisite appointments."
This is a convertible that can jump from zero-to-62 mph in a sultry 4.1 seconds and features a top speed of 186 mph. Flagship models don’t get much classier than this one, but the fact that it also offers such jaw-dropping performance further proves just how much car a Florida consumer could get for the price.
So far, there has been no word on a release date, but we expect it to arrive at our dealership in the coming months. From there, we imagine many entertaining test drives shall abound!
