Always loved the W222 than the W223. Technology wise W223 may be miles ahead but it can not even come close to the presence and the elegance of W222.
W222 will be classic in 20 years.

Bro you speaking facts
I honestly think this is the best looking S class of them all~ Just perfect styling all around~
@@diablocls55its 10 years old now
Sad to hear they're ending V12 production. A bittersweet moment indeed.
Even worse you find out they are killing 4.0l V8 engines in both C and E classes (to be replaced with 2.0l i4 with some electric motor apparently). All to please eco-twats.
@@grzegorzbrzeczyszczykiewic5895 Just the C-Class, the E-Class is still gonna have the V8. The V12 will also still be available for the Maybach S-Class W223
No more V12 for AMG but this engine will be in the S680 Maybach for at least another year.
Ain’t nothing sweet about this it’s just bitter
I Agree
The new S-class sucks compared to this.
Uglier, heavier and the presence just isn't there.
THIS is the real deal.
Yea the w222 is probably the best modern s class ever
give it time
I like the current S Class, but this W222 S Class just has that perfect design language and elegance. Best S Class ever made is this one right here.
I've got 2012 W221 S65 for 7 years now and it is also a great car. One day I'd love to switch it to the W222 S65.
I love my w221 s65. Best highway blaster I've ever owned by a wide margin.
The design of this generation is best for me. It’s just my personal opinion but the Interior and exterior of this is amazing! The newer one looks very much futuristic which is good for company but personally Many of the people would prefer this one.
how ignition coils work for that 7 years ?
You can not get more road presence than an amg s65.
@@MDavidG1 nah
@@MDavidG1 ok fine but how about a maybach S680 LWB if you want to jump luxury tiers.
@@MDavidG1 don’t try and for one second sit there and even think you can compare the luxuries of a maybach to that of even a fully specced s550. The rolls obviously has the same if not better than the maybach but I’m telling you the road presence on an S680 is just as noticeable as a phantom or wraith
Dark blue S65 with silver wheels is my ultimate dream.
Ahh That’s a nice combo 😍
Midnight blue is absolutely gorgeous!! Businessman blue
That’s all our dream haha
Assuming a car is to provide transport, then the final addition S65 AMG is probably one of the best cars in the world!
those s65 coupes are UNBELIEVABLE
Definitely the best looking Mercedes in the last two decades
the GTR and the S63/S65 coupe take the cake for me, with the first gen CLS and this closely behind
@@brunobegic3841 first gen cls 😳😅
@@oskaripessinen I love that thing, it's different has a presence.
W221 looks more muscular imo. W222 still a gorgeous car
Would love a video on the w221 s-class to complement this and the w220 videos.
It just doesn’t get any better, literally.
I went for a ride on a Maybach W222 the ride was magical. And the S65 will be truly miss.
My favorite S class’s of all time in order of best to almost best is W126, W221 &W222. The rest don’t matter
I daily drive a W220 S65 for two years now with 50K mileage to date and although driving me crazy on maintenance from ABC pump failing to Coil-packs I'm so reluctant to let go although MSRP close to $80K in this part of the world! Cannot wait for the final edition one day!
Pour a drink for this one boys. The S65 and the V12 will be missed.
Ugh...so Gorgeous!! v12 sounds sooo good too! I remember when my boss (general manager at Toyota dealership) took me to a night club in DC in one of the older V12's...I fell in LOVE! 😍
I love this car, but I can't sleep in this car. The price is just like buying a house.Good Job AMGmeister.
This guy is a F*cking Legend, I knew he would make this video about the S65. Respect to the AMGmeister.
That 6.0L V12 looks nuts. I mean AMG was already insane enough with their 4.0L V8, but I never knew about this V12. And I also never knew about the S65 until just recently. Just listening to the engine at 2:42 is enough for me to be in love with this car, and I already love this generation of the S-class, even without the AMG performance upgrades. This is a very special AMG car, and it's sad that AMG doesn't make these insane V12s anymore. But this S65 shows what AMG is capable of, and it paid off.
I so love your videos. Keep it up!!
I just picked up a W222 S65 that I’ll begin to start posting content on soon.
Enjoyable content as always! Hope to see a W221 video in the future. For me, the W221 is a peak modern S-class with all aspects considered.
Correction: the S63 was awd everywhere except the UK.
Otherwise great video. I like how you made it seem like you're writing a love letter to an engine. Cheers.
The one place that needs awd…
That intro is sick bro..
What’s sad is that I’d still rather have a wide body charger SRT. This Mercedes would do nothing but stay in my garage like an art piece.
Idk man i think this thing could definetely gap the fuck out of a charger hellcat. Especially the v12 bi turbo.
I like W140 and W221 exteriors because both have sharper shapes while I'd skip 220 and W222 is curvier everywhere. W223 has ugly tail lights which is clearly seen at 8:09 in your video. Also V12 biturbo engines still live in Maybach cars... And YES, all these 222 and 223 cars in 10 years from now when they are out of warranty will be vacuuming wallets of its fourth or fifth owners who will be flipping em like crazy! :D
Hope to get one before the EU fucks everything with their bs policy and regulations. Great car and presence. Thanks for the review mate!
Love your channel dude! Keep them coming :D
Heads up, what happened to the the GTA styled video?
W222 had the perfect combination of ergonomic design and just right amount of screens. The new one is a pure joke in the looks department.
The ferrari f12 tdf in yellow just chilling with its hood opend
How i would love to have one of the last editions.
Perfect Garage:
S63 Daily
S65 Weekend
We have an X222 (RWD) with all bells and whistles. I Rented a W222 4 Matic for a winter trip few weeks ago, but all passengers complained the difference between an entry model W222 and the X222.
I wish there was a bmw channel like yours
Good job old man, keep it up.
He aint old
@@dietznutz1 Old man means 'old chap' not 'ancient'. it is an English idiom, did you study English?
Jaw dropping!
love the fact that brabus made a new gen G65 / G900 with the m279 with 6.3l
That limited edition is nice
Fun Fact: it’s not an end of an era, the w223 model does actually have a v12 version however it’s only available as a maybach.
Type in you tube w223 v12 you will see it
Am always down with the Merc
The future is cold. Just look at the next gen c63 with a 4-cylinder. EMBARRASSING.
Thank you
You should buy an r129 Sl600. The NA V12 is a dream and equal length headers make it sound like a Zonda!
Forgot to mention the V12 in the new Maybach 😉👍 Love your videos, always on point! Any news on the V12 in the new Maybach?
The w223 S680 Maybach and Guard still have the v12. No more V12 for AMG models though.
@@AMGmeister Interesting, is it a new revised V12 engine or a carry over Maybach specific tuned version of the M275 / M285?
@@alexanderandrianis5220 It's a detuned version of the engine in this S65. M279 with 603hp in the S680.
Sooooooo much Bretter than the new one 😩💭
Do you have any videos on the W221 S65?
Do a video on the g wagon .
Great Review but you skipped the W221, any chance you will release one for a S65 AMG W221?
Why is the 190 not as popular as other Mercedes models .it is a marvellous car and so cheap to buy as a classic
Definitely peak S-Class. People would like to believe electrification will match this V12's dominance at speed but it's hopeless for them. An S65 will cruise for hours at a Model S's top speed.
Besides the S65, what camera do you actually use? Quality looks great.
I love this channel. My last car was a w204 C63 with P31 pack. I had it stage 2 with iPE headers and a tune running 550bhp.
My next car I am still pondering. I still want something exciting. I’m thinking about a cls63 or maybe the w205 c63. Any thoughts?
I’d consider a W212 E63 facelift honestly, great cars with great power even stock
can you make a buyers guide on w218 cls63 amg? or a comparison to e63 amg?
That exhaust sounds so angry! 😢
One question: Why AMG didn't upgrade the engine up to 680-720ish hp in the W222/R231 65s? I remember when the 2005 S65/SL65 AMG were more powerful than a Murciélago (612 vs 580 hp), but in 2018 an Aventador S was 110 hp more powerful than a S65/S65 AMG
These cars are not drag racers and are not all about numbers, it’s 600+ enough for you?
They were barely able to cool the engine as it was. In fact they were really struggling. If you leave one of these in traffic for too long it will overheat and get in trouble because of thinning the oil. At more power, which would have meant more rpm, it would probably catch fire straight away :p
@@sanchezking6188 yes I can imagine the heat generated can be extreme especially for the Middle East market cars
W222 and W220 brothers
❤
what is the colour of the 2018 S65 it looks gorgeous. I prefer that combination to the final edition
end of an era
Do you know how many S63Amg Coupe Yellow Night Package was made? And issit worth the investment.
Music of the beginning please.
The only thing I didn’t like about the S65 final edition was it didn’t come with carbon ceramic brakes.
Why would you want those?
@@bernardwarr4187 S65 is a heavy car, you ever see how the rotors look after a few thousand miles of driving it hard? They get grooves and warp from the heat, plus the carbon ceramic brakes are a lot less unsprung weight
V12 Biturbo and 911 turbo S are the greatest engines of all time in my opinion
and dont forget the c217 s65 amg coupe that is discontinued since 2021
Everyone always skips over the W221. Maybe I'm just partial.
I actually do like the facelifted 2011 W221 S65. They seem to be pretty rare in Canada though, I’ve only seen pre-facelift ones.
I also prefer the w221. Theres just too much going on inside the new models. I like the simplicity of the w221. I also like to ride in darkness and all these bright ass displays that you cant turn off or dim way down in these new cars are just too much for me.
W221 and W222 S Class models were the best looking S Class's in my opinion!
Lol I love the clown face steering wheel
The truth is , the new electric S Class is nowhere near as luxurious as these S Class models. Its cheaply made, has tons of crappy interior parts, the ride quality isn't up to par etc. These S Class models here are going to be the last of the great Mercedes luxury cars. People will drive the value of these through the roof. I own an '08 S 550. I wouldn't get rid of it for anything electric.
Mercedes Benz the best or nothing!
Agreed I wouldn’t get rid of C63S.. next on my list is a S65 AMG..
@@BORIKKEN That is the top of the line boss car.
Did the Maybach S650 with the W222 facelift have the same engine as the S65? I know the pre-facelift W222 Maybach S600 had a different engine but I think with the facelift the S650 got to receive the same engine as the S65.
Yes, the Maybach w222 S650 has the same 621hp M279 as the S65.
@AMGmeister Does that mean the engine of S650 is also handcrafted in Affalterbach but it just doesn't have the name plate?
I'd have to have the fridge and glass roof.
A v12 w223 is coming for the Maybach
The S680 Guard and S680 Maybach have this V12 but with 603hp. No more V12 for AMG but likely another year or two for the S680.
w140 starter motor sound better than this whole engine sorry but facts
What do you mean?
@@bernardwarr4187 no idea what he's on about either
The mixed metal look ain’t it… 😂😂
Greetings, we are from Bilibili Comics. Your works are interesting to us. Any thoughts about CZcams's collaboration? There's contact on my header or about section if there's anything on your mind. Have a good day.
Still not buying electric coffin boxes. Yeah fanbois I know your battery on 4wheels can smoke everything, so could a train. It still ain't a car, sadly
The last Best looking S Class (W222) ever made the W223 is 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
