S65 738 lb ft

....CL600, CL65 AMG, SL600, SL65 AMG, S600 ... what’s next? Well, naturally, the S65 AMG. Anyone familiar with this engine knows better. Natural? Hardly. Thrilling? Oh, mama. Stomp on the throttle and twin turbos spool up, stuffing the 6.0-liter V-12 with enough 93 octane to twist out 604 horsepower and terrorize the pavement with a 738 pound-foot noogie. Mercedes believes the S65 AMG is the world’s fastest sedan. They could be right. The S65 AMG will take you and four friends from 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds. But be prepared for your savings account to diminish from $180,000 to $0 even quicker. As in the CL65 AMG and SL65 AMG, the extra power is accompanied by larger brakes, sportier suspension tuning, and an AMG body kit....."Car and Driver"

Having driven an SL65 for about an hour, it is unreal, it pulls like the fastest race cars I have driven, floor it at highway speeds and it goes ape shit! If your brave try it with the traction control off, it will go sideways at 60MPH+ As if the 600's were not awesome enough, add a couple of turbo's and its a ride fit for a king.

I think if I was in the market for a car in that price range it would be on the top of my list over most other exotics because while it is ungodly fast, it has manor's and is fairly refined.

Not that I know of, it was in New Orleans. That being said there are a fair number of exotics up here. I have a friend with a 360 modena, another who has 4 porsches and a 355, I see a few Lambo's every year. Yet another friend just picked up a Maybach57- keep your eye's peeled they are out there. But I have yet to see any XX65's up here, and only one XX55.
