Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG L Accessories

The Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG L costs £163,385 so it has some “basic” equipment. But that is not enough for some motorists. As such, this flagship saloon is available with various optional extras that must satisfy even the pickiest. And quite right too. Who, for starters, could contemplate life without the Night View Assist PLUS system. This uses an infrared beam mounted behind the headlight to project an image onto a screen behind the steering wheel. This helps motorists see poorly lit cyclists, pedestrians, and other hazards. All for a comparatively low £1,525. This complements the heated steering wheel that costs a further £215. At last, a few essentials. Also, what self respecting motorist could live without a ski bag, panoramic sunroof, and fridge? These basics cost: £250, £855, and £875 respectively.

The Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG L – once fitted with these optional extras – might just satisfy picky motorists. If not, they can distract themselves with the monstrous engine. This 6.0- litre V12 produces 630PS, propels gadget lovers to 62mph in only 4.4 seconds, and on to a mighty 155mph. This complements the S-Class' handling that can only be described as masterful. The supreme ride, astonishing agility, and beautifully weighted steering ensure that. And, of course, this is the flagship Mercedes saloon so its prestige is almost beyond comparison. Anyone still unsatisfied can have a fire extinguisher for £95. Some people, ey?
