Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG Coupe
The 2015 S65 AMG coupe will top the two-door's range, which starts with the S550 4Matic coupe at the bottom. The S65 AMG coupe will essentially match the other models in terms of features and tech, though it'll be the first to debut Benz's fancy suspension with the curve-tilting function. This system uses a stereo camera to scan the road ahead to prepare the suspension, which then makes the vehicle lean into the turn while adjusting for speed and curve radius. The system works at speeds from 10 to 111 mph. It's meant to increase driving fun, not to increase cornering speeds. Also part of the coupe's suspension system is Road Surface Scan and Magic Body Control, which scans, preps, and adjusts for road imperfections ahead.
Brakes can be upgraded to a lighter ceramic compound system, and Benz touts that the coupe comes standard with a lithium-ion battery. The battery results in a 44-pound weight savings, a relatively small drop in what's expected to be a heavy bucket. We've drooled over the S63 AMG 4Matic coupe's looks, but the S65 AMG is painfully gorgeous. Tasteful chrome accents are used on the body kit, while the front fascia looks even more menacing than the S63's. Also eye-catching are the 20-inch, forged rims with center caps that make them look like center-locking hubs.
