|  After its European Debut, the 2007 Mercedes-Benz S Class finally makes its way to North America. The company's new flagship sedan features a bold new design featuring pronounced fender flares and sharper angles sitting on a frame that is longer and wider than the previous S class. Available in two trims, the S550 will be launched with an all new 382 horsepower 5.5 liter v8 engine, featuring four-valve-per-cylinder technology and variable valve timing. Its bigger brother, the S600 is powered by a robust 500 horsepower v12.
The upcoming 2007 Mercedes-Benz S600 include all of the standard technologies the S550 has to offer, but it will be powered by a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V12 making 510 horsepower and 590 lb.-ft. of torque. The Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG is astoundingly powerful, thanks to its 604 horsepower and 738 lb.-ft of torque from a twin turbo, 6.0-liter, hand-built V12 engine. All of that power and torque is delivered to 20-inch rear wheels through a specially calibrated five-speed automatic transmission. From its two-piece brake rotors with eight-piston calipers and high-performance suspension upgrades to its fully appointed leather interior including AMG-specific performance seats, the 2007 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG is the epitome of a luxury sports sedan.
