Updated Mercedes S65 AMG on the way

Here’s our best look at the updated Mercedes S65 AMG that’s currently under development. From what we can see on this particular prototype, the design upgrades on this four-door iteration aren’t as dramatic as on the S65 Coupe.  

The S65 AMG is all about the engine and in this updated form it is expected to gain a few extra horses over the 630bhp figure in the current model. The same updates will also apply to the S63 AMG which will make around 600bhp. 

What may come as a big surprise though is that the updated S65 AMG won’t be rear-wheel drive anymore. Given that AMG has already announced its plans of making most of their upcoming models all-wheel drive, the updated S65 will lose some of its madness. 

The updated S65 AMG will be unveiled together with the standard S-Class facelift. The latter will go on sale in Europe starting January 2017.
