We had the chance to drive the all new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG (V222) for three days in the surrounds of Bielefeld and Dortmund. Here is our In Depth Review of the strongest Mercedes-Benz S-Class, 2014 Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG (V222). We enjoyed our test drive with the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG (V222), we hope you will like our video review as well. Make sure you dont miss the Start Up and the Exhaust sound.
intro about the car
With the introduction of the W140 in 1991 in Geneva, Mercedes introduced a 12 cylinder engine in a S-Class for the first time, reacting to BMW effort with the 7 series top modell. In 2004 Mercedes introduced the first S65 AMG (after they already offered a AMG powered V12 in the S55 AMG). Last year I was able to be part of the world premiere of the new S-Class, now be called 222 series and the debut of the all new S 65 AMG which had its debut at the LA auto show 2013.
Let me get the facts out of the way first. The S65 AMG has a fine 6 Liter V12 engine (for those Mercedes freaks - its the M279) that comes with 630 hp. Between 2.300-4.300 rpm it gives you a maximum torque of 1.000 Nm - equals 738 foot pound of torque. All this power goes right to the rear.
Even though the Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG weights 2250 kg (which equals 4960 pound), it accelarates from 0 to 100 km/h or even from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds. The topspeed is reached at 250 km/h / 155 mph - unless you spend some extra bucks on the AMG drivers package - doing that your speed rush will not end before reaching the 300 km/h, or 186 mph.
Ok, you can close your mouth and dream on. At least in Germany, you need at least 232.050 Euros or 222.000 U$ to buy a S65 AMG. But then you have a whole bunch of premium options included that you pay for extra on the regular s-class for instance the AIR-BALANCE package, the Burmester High End 3D-Surround Soundsystem with the COMAND Online infotainment-System, the LED Intelligent Light System, Park-Assist package, MAGIC VISION CONTROL, SPLITVIEW, the seat package with the massage functions and the panoramic sunroof.
Mercedes builds an 80 Liter (21 gallons) tank in the S65 AMG and says you can get a milage of 19.8 mpg (equals 11.9 liters for 100 kilometers). So in theory at least, you should be able to drive a distance of 600 km / 373 miles without getting gas. Honestly, I even believe it is possible, but then ... who would buy this car to drive it all slow and carefully instead of just making the V12 roar. Yeah right, and not disable the ECO-Start Stopp function.
Just to rund up those numbers and figures - the S65 AMG only comes as the long version called V222 (the short version is the W222) and it is 5.29m long (17 feet 5 inch), 2.13m wide (7 feet) including the mirrors and its height is 1.5m (5 feet). It has a turn radius of 12.3m (40 feet 5 inch). Overall you are allowed to store up to 500 kg (1102 pound) in the car.

If I was drinking every time you said "You know" I would probably be in the ER halfway through the video. Still, it's the best In Depth Review I have ever watched! Not all youtubers make such an in depth reviews, you know! Thank you.

[@rare6499]

I got to say this is one of the best reviews I've seen. Massively detailed and very interesting, unlike the 5 minute PR junk everyone else gives. Brilliant review, subscribed!!!

[@ausfahrttv]

Josh Charlie Thank you very much and welcome! [Jan]

[@blackmondayy1]

Amazing car and review....cars like this deserve nothing less than 30min review.

[@ausfahrttv]

Agreed! And thank you! [Jan]

[@davisdegarbo]

Nice touch driving the Benz in a circle! We get to see its awesome looks and the front wheels leaning in making for a tight turn; typical Mercedes. What a dream!

[@ausfahrttv]

DrDavis Thanks man, we are always trying ;) [Jan]

[@doublevanoz]

Lighter than I thought. Awesome looking with those wheels, brakes and tint

[@bluestudio67]

I watch a lot of car reviews, but this was the most thorough and interesting car review I've ever seen. Great work, and thanks! P.S., I'm glad your English doesn't have a British accent - they bore me to death. Lol!

[@ausfahrttv]

[@ausfahrttv]

Thanks! And good luck ;) [Jan]

[@ELGlueckert]

I think it's fine with your strong accent, people should be glad that you even do reviews in English at all, and I'm one of them.

[@ausfahrttv]

Oh man this car is amazing. Absolutely beautiful. I love the wheels and the chrome. Drool.

[@JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

I once thought about buying a V12 BMW, didn't do it, can't remember why not, it's been a long time ago. This is definitely a gorgeous car, all the amenities you could ever want, plus. The price, which is beyond my means now, would definetly be something I would have looked at when I had the money. I did own a 1984 500 SEL, but they have changed so much since then, that car didn't have the technology that a car costing $25K has today...amazing how the automobile has evolved. I have looked at the TESLA Model S and that is an amazing car, and not a drop of gas used, and would give the S65 a run for it's money on the autobahn.

[@athan4australia]

Thankyou for making this in English... Subscribed :)

Parfait! Plus que parfait! Bravo Mercedes, Bravo AMG

[@cloudk2088]

[@NZsarge1]

Well done review of a very nice car

[@ausfahrttv]

Thank you! [Jan]

[@anythingyouwant29]

Perfect Review! Really does cover everything about the car, although it would also be nice to know about the after service care attached to the car.(if any) Most people dont think about what happens after I drive out of the showroom, so would be interesting to know. For example, if hail balls suddenly drop from the sky and damage the vehicle and glass, would Mercedes quickly provide you with a replacement vehicle while yours gets fixed? (For €200k+ I would expect them to at least invite me to their home for dinner with the whole family or a Mercedes AMG factory tour) Is it practical to buy the Mercedes service plan or not? Of course Mercedes might say all nice things but would be good to hear an independent review of service, as in from the first day you walk into the showroom to picking up the car(or having it delivered) to 12 months later. I noticed a few car companies are all smiles when they sell you the car but you wait like a sheep for hours or days for after service. One last interesting fact to know would be the depreciation. This beast depreciates around 50% in 3 years. That's ALLOT of money to throw away.

[@ausfahrttv]

anythingyouwant29 Thank you very much! (Jens)

[@ausfahrttv]

anythingyouwant29 well yes, good point u made. unfortunately i cant give u a clear statement. all i can do is just HOPE that car manufacturers dont let u down after u have bought such a supercar. regarding depreciation: this is an absolutely interesting topic as well. but i hope for ur understanding that we just cannot cover that many topics, otherwise our reviews would be crammed - plus time for production is very very limited! glad u liked our review, though![Sarah]

[@anonimu0000]

Very good review and very usseful opinions , thank's for you'r work

[@ausfahrttv]

Thank you for your comment! (Jens)

[@anonimu0000]

Ausfahrt.tv LOL , now i watched the video again and noticed that the car has no START/STOP button for the engine , i see that you use KEY IGNITION ! Why is that , i think i know very well that all this models cames standard with Keyless , and START/STOP engine button . Thank's

Thank you! (Jens)

[@modfus]

Fabulous car although I still prefer the slightly more special Bentley Mulsanne, this Mercedes is an extraordinary vehicle. A true dream car.

[@ausfahrttv]

We have the Bentley Mulsanne on our list, I wont say anything before testdriving it. [Jan]

[@modfus]

Ausfahrt.tv Excellent. I should clarify that I would certainly choose an S class before a Bentley for every day use. However, with the vast technical improvements VW has brought to Bentley + the attention to detail and traditional craftsmanship, the Bentley is very special. Of course the S65 is probably a technically superior vehicle ........but it does feel more "mainstream" than the Mulsanne.

[@timdohov8102]

nice review bro )))

[@ausfahrttv]

Tim Dohov Thank you very much! (Jens)

[@forrestjr4885]

A truly amazing car. I really do wonder how will they top this for the next model.

[@ausfahrttv]

King Jr That is for sure a very good question. I am very curious too! [Jan]

[@jeffpuha8187]

Ausgezeichnet! A very comprehensive review, indeed. I think I might go for the S600 instead of the S65 AMG. I have a feeling the ride would be more comfortable, and you still get the V-12 power, just not as much. You would also save more than $50K. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

[@ausfahrttv]

Jeff Puha Thank you for your comment! [Jens]

[@RichardJoashTan]

Personally, I want the S65 AMG or the new Mercedes-Maybach S600

[@ausfahrttv]

Goochi Goochs You are very welcome. I had no chance to drive the Bentley Flying Spur yet,so I am unable to compare. [Jan]

[@SerbUnity]

Typical finest luxury and latest cutting edge technology S class. But the digital gauge cluster somehow makes it seem less classy. For example it is like having a digital Tag Heuer watch :/. Anyways great review guys!

[@ausfahrttv]

Thank you very much! I get your point with the gauges, but I think the look better in real than in any clip. [Jan]

EXCELLENT REVIEW OF THE S65... I LOVE the German accent... To me it just brings more authenticity to the review... What can be better than a German dude doing a review in Germany of a German car.... The best... I was wondering if you can do a side by side review of the 2012 (or last year of V8 Normally aspirated) Mercedes C63 Sedan STANDARD COMPARED to the C63 with the Drivers Package... LSD (LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL), BIGGER BRAKES and the motor that is suppose to have SLS components in it. Thanks in advance for your consideration... Tim

[@ausfahrttv]

silversleeper484 Authentic we are, indeed :) Unfortunately, we dont do side by side reviews. But before u get too disappointed - hang on here, there ismore exciting cars to come - e.g. MB SL 65 AMG - ur fine with that? [Sarah]

[@silversleeper484]

Ausfahrt.tv sounds good :)

[@sfflyer123]

Great video. Does Sarah Sauer still work with you or is she on her own? You guys made a great team.
