2009_amg_sl65

Admit it: big, super-powerful luxury limos turn you on. You know it, I know it and Mercedes-Benz knows it.

The latter is on the verge of debuting its arousal-inducing S63 AMG and S65 AMG uber-limos at next week’s Shanghai auto show, but thankfully, Mercedes’ own German-language site has jumped the gun and kindly revealed both cars ahead of schedule

Gentlemen, reach for the Kleenex. Some may consider this NSFW.

With the cars’ technical specifications expected to remain more-or-less identical to the previous models, aesthetics were the biggest unknown until now.

There’s more LED lighting inside and out than you can poke a stick at, as well as the obligatory increase in rim and grille sizes. The front and rear bumpers have also been updated, with the rear scoring a snazzy diffuser-esque device and the front nixing the old model’s fussy venting.

Inside the cabin there are acres of piano-black and leather trim, brushed alloy accents, power everything, and the usual array of AMG gadgetry.The diamond-quilted leather is a nice touch too, and a carry-over from the current model.

If power figures remain unchanged then the S63 will come packing 386kW (518hp) from its 6.2 litre V8 engine, while the S65’s twin-turbocharged 6.0 litre V12 will pump out 450kW (604hp) and an impressive 1,000Nm (738 lb-ft) of torque.

A seven-speed automatic transmission will be fitted to the S63 while the S65 will make do with a five-speed auto - necessary to handle the immense torque from the blown V12.

Expect high-resolution images and further information on specifications, pricing and availability to appear closer to the Shanghai Motor Show. For now though, take a look through the gallery below.

A few of my colleagues drive and rave about their Mercedes-Benz. Gotta love that seven-speed automatic transmission.
