Here is info on the new brakes
.............
World first: newly developed AMG high-performance composite brakes



The completely newly developed AMG high-performance composite brakes based on the ADAPTIVE BRAKE system set new standards in terms of stopping distances, sensitivity and durability. A new twin sliding calliper is used for the front brakes, the kind of innovation people have come to expect from AMG. This new, unique technology combines the advantages of a floating-calliper brake – lower heat transfer to the brake fluid and significantly improved ride comfort due to the way the brake pads are located – with the performance of a large fixed-calliper brake. At the rear a large sliding frame-type calliper provides the braking. Composite brake discs at the front and rear with a diameter of 390 and 365 millimetres respectively ensure the shortest stopping distances, remarkable strength and outstanding sensitivity. The dual-circuit hydraulic braking system is controlled electronically and supports numerous driver assistance functions that improve safety and comfort. Multi-piece 19-inch AMG light-alloy wheels with mixed tyres provide the contact with the road. 255/40 ZR 19 tyres are fitted on 8.5-inch-wide wheels at the front, while 275/40 ZR 19 tyres combine with 9.5-inch-wide wheels at the rear.

Amazing! Not only is the S65 the fastest 4-door car, it might have the best
brakes of any 4-door car out there now!

Thanks for posting that Artist!

This picture looks great. Even though it's sitting there it appears to be moving really fast.

Definatly, the technology used in the new S is so advanced it could almost make a boat handle as well as a F1 car. A bit exagerated though.

I am seriously starting to love this car, although the front bumper looks a little too busy. If you're going to have an S class, you've got to step it up to an AMG. It's everything you could want for an S class. Beautiful, comfortable, and insanely fast!

OK, I admit it! This is a damn good looking car! The AMG package is perfect. It is just hot and I think I would rather have this than a Flying Brick! But hey i can admit when Im wrong....Cant wait to see reviews..
