[@W222_S-Klasse]

The exterior and interior of the W222 S Class are completely superior to the W223 in all aspects and are beautiful.

[@superchargedturbo]

The best S ever

[@SwiftHDX]

The W223 interior is a joke in comparison. The exterior of the W222 is elegant, unlike the aggressive and arguably ugly W223.

We need a review of a facelifted coupe S65. Those are super rare and non opf I believe. The sweet spot of a modern Mercedes, still is very up to date and looks better than everything else they sell now.

Mercedes went woke culture

[@memorimusic420]

​@@bobanppvc what??? 😂

[@Lucas-ck1po]

​@@memorimusic420 Hybrid crap, no V12 anymore, tesla-like screens everywhere. Its a luxury car indeed with the best materials but the design feels copy-pasted from the same language adopted by half the automotive industry nowadays. The w222 had in 2019 a "final edition" S65, which was the farewell to the proper thing. If im not mistaken, the w223 gen line doesn't even have an S65 anymore, the fastest is the "S 63 E Performance" which has their 4.0l V8 and some eletrification. Its over.

[@memorimusic420]

@Lucas-ck1po yeah i agree but thats not woke thats just shitty quality lmao. I just didnt understand what the fuck woke had to do with anything lol

[@Lucas-ck1po]

@@memorimusic420 Well, at least i think he meant the choices of following crowd trends, doing what everyone else is doing in spite of your own thing. Anyways, I don't think they are a case of bad quality, the materials and engineering is excelent and the interior materials are probably the finest in the automotive industry, for a car such as E, S classes or 7 Series etc. But regardless of how well they put all of it together, its just a nice execution of the same trendy interiors everyone else is doing. Every new BMW, Tesla, Cadillac, every other startup EV companies from China etc. Here in my country we are being flooded with these BYD, GWM, Haval, Cherry whatever cars that are all the same. Very little buttons, all screens everywhere. And for the general public and reviwers, the larger, the more impressive. Thats it. This is why brands like BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Cadillac, Toyota, even the new Ford Mustang has a cheap tablet for instruments. Its just a lower quality execution of the same thing VW is already doing and VW's execution is just a lower quality execution of what the luxury brands are all doing. I wouldn't use "woke" to describe it but it kinda fits. Its just the same recycled generic crap everywhere.

[@cagrdurmus8059]

V12 start is the best feeling

[@gjoke_pro]

I love the v12 startup it sounds so good

[@gabriele_v1221]

That starting noise literally gives me goosebumps

[@colinashby3775]

What I love when you start, no silly chimes. Just the exhaust sound.

[@shahangilani]

The last best Mercedes ever made possibly the best car also my dream car Rip v12 😢

[@th3orist]

i think the cabin and looks of the W222 SClass generation is just pure perfection.

[@maciejbrozek4666]

1. You can listen to the starter non stop and not get bored. It's like starting a big militarny machinę not a limo. 2. The ease of doing aby autobahn speed is mindblowing. No matters how fast you're going the engine can always give you more. What a machine! p.s. I fully agree that 222 is so much more elegant and nice, especially inside, than 223.

[@MyHvorfor]

Literally my favorite car of all. The sound up start is so insane

[@hope6571]

In my humble opinion, those V12 starters are one of the best things you can ever hear from a car. Doesn't matter if its Benz, BMW or Audis diesel craziness, it always sounds amazing!

[@Daweisstebescheid]

the old BMW 7 Series V12 E38 has a amazing Starter Sound as well 😎👌

I have the only W220 S65 in Finland and this is from 2004. And it is outstanding. The engine and the car feels crazy. And the fact how long this M275 -> m279 was produced is really something. True something!

Wow, wow Max! There’s no need to call me an old men! 😂 I’m in my early 30’s and I have an S65AMG but also an S63AMG. I believe I’m still a young men 🤔😂 By the way, you described the S65 perfect. The part where it gets faster as it goes through the gears and also the way this car makes you feel. I also love my S63AMG but if I had to keep just one car, I’d keep the S65AMG. The V12 really is a special engine and something that we will never see again

[@BG1991g]

The words that will describe this car will be three : monstrous,amazing and speechless.Monstrous because of the engine 680 hp/1000 nm torque 😲😲. Amazing and speechless because of the interior.

[@HANSOMIR]

I watched the video actually couple of times.... This car sits in a group of its own, there isn't anything like it. Yes, there might be Bentleys and AUDIs and RR, but this is something extravagant, yet simple, not giving any of its characteristics away, now yelling "LOOK AT MEEE, I AM AN AMG!" This is a car, that needs a special minded person, and I say it in a very good meaning. It's a very smooth and elegant murderer, that craves for more when you give it more. A masterpiece, trully

[@BenzinioB]

I personally consider the facelift of W22 as prettier and better overall then the new W223.

[@Lundamyrstrollet]

I love the starter sound so much

[@gottliebdee263]

@12:02. I think you're right about the torque limit thing. Av few tuners have looked at this and it's why Mercs don't often seem as fast as the raw numbers might suggest. Why? Probably down to cost. As Pirelli say, "Power is nothing without controL".

[@thabisogladwin1882]
