Saw a brand new S65 AMG on the road today...

It was on a flatbed on route to this place www.dontdrivejunk.com.

All black and gleaming, I have to say it looked pretty damn mean. But the only thing I respect about the car is its engine. The rest of all that lame-o technology they cram into it is just unattractive to me. But the power that that engine puts down is nothing short of spectacular.

That zero to 60 time might be underwhelming, but if I recall correctly, the S600 dashed to 60 in 4.1 seconds by CD's own tests, so the only thing holding the S65 from sub 4 second times are traction.

But godamn, imagine that monster in a dedicated mid-engined supercar, something the SLR Mclaren should have been.
