This minor change follows the minor update to the Mercedes S-Class in early April. While the engines remain largely the same, the S63 AMG is equipped with a 6.2-liter V8 (525ps, 64.2kgm), and the S65 AMG features a 6.0-liter V12 twin-turbo (612ps, 102kgm). However, the key characteristic is the shift towards more environmentally considerate models, with improved fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions.

The transmission for the S63 is the "SPEEDSHIFT 7G-TRONIC" 7-speed automatic, while the S65 is paired with the "SPEEDTRONIC" 5-speed automatic.

The performance is, of course, world-class. For the 0-100 km/h sprint, the S63 records 4.6 seconds, and the S65 achieves 4.4 seconds. The top speed for both models is electronically limited to 250 km/h, but with the limiter removed, speeds exceeding 300 km/h are possible.

BRAND HISTORY
When tracing the history of automobiles, two German pioneers emerge: Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz. It is widely known that these two men independently developed gasoline-powered cars between 1885 and 1886, laying the foundation for the automotive society. Although their respective automotive companies were once rivals, they joined forces to overcome the post-World War I recession, leading to the establishment of Daimler-Benz AG through a merger in 1926.

The name "Mercedes," given to the products, originated when Emil Jellinek, a customer of Daimler's, named the cars after his eldest daughter in exchange for taking over foreign sales. The trademark was registered by Daimler in 1902.

Thus born, Mercedes, and subsequently Mercedes-Benz, has consistently led the way in automotive development, actively introducing cutting-edge technologies such as the safety passenger cell, airbags, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), and NIGHT VIEW.
