The fact that this generation is the best looking s class ever this one has the legendary V12 which will never be produced again! The 2021 s class is hideous and not even comparable to its predecessor. In the end if you buy this S65 it’s really a win-win situation having the best model and a rare one. WOW
I think we should wait and see with the New S Class. I remember when spy shots of this one came out everyone was saying how bad it looked compared to the last generation. It will most likely grow on us like every S Class before.
Tbh this engine was never that impressive. It was designed in the 90's during the Daimler-Chrysler partnership and improved ever since and therefore was all about being cheap and efficient instead of an over engineered german gem. It's kind of pathetic. Which is why it's just a 3 valve per cylinder and one camshaft per bank of cylinders. The Previous and only other V12 Mercedes made was the M120 and that thing is awesome.
@@socalguy829 I'm not sure about this because if it proves that it is the last generation with a V12 engine, and since it's also a limited edition car, the parice could also appreciate in value.
V12 for the next S-Class Generation has already been confirmed. However, this will probably be the last time that we will be seeing a V12 in an AMG S-Class.
Freddie Jones My father has the Naim in his Mulsanne and honestly it’s amazing I had the opportunity to be around few luxury cars and although they are all similar and quite honestly a normal human wouldn’t be able to tell a drastic difference between them, the Naim just sounds special and extremely crisp if that makes sense.

I saw a 2016 S600 Maybac with 71k miles at the BCA car auction today and it's guide price was £39,000, LOL. That was 200k 4 years ago. The way these cars depreciate is completely wild. 1 owner from new aswell, one guy lost all that cash. It's another world out there folks
You've been getting better and better with each video. I've always enjoyed your channel but from the movie forward something changed and you have been crushing it, which not many have been able to with the covid content. Congrats Sam and keep up the great work
Sam, you’re a brilliant presenter- your quirky movements and charisma really set you apart from others - it’s a testament to your passion for cars and motorsports - cheers for the quality content!
Absolutely Stunning cars in there 🙂 the stuff of dreams 🙂 And my god that S class is a completely different league of spec 😲 A 600bhp V12 final edition is crazy, but what a car (I agree with you on those bronze touches) that is a beautiful bit of kit 🙂 You are taking your videos to the next level (if that's even possible) the quality and content gets better with every video 🙂 And we can't thank you enough for taking us all along with you for the journey 🙂👍🏻 Keep up the fantastic work Sam, Stay Safe out there 🙂 All the best, Mark 👍🏻
@@seenthroughglass 🙂 And that shows through on your video's bud 🙂 You seem more relaxed and like you are enjoying thing's a bit more, perhaps this 'Forced' break we have all been given has invigorated you even more, mind you, it's not like you were ever short of energy though 😁🤪 And perhaps (I don't know as it's not something I have ever tried) manufacturer's are more willing, and happy of some exposure given the climate, as I can't imagine the luxury car sales is booming after most people were forced not to work 😢 i guess money for those thing's is limited, 🙂 Either way, I'm loving the content (as always) And look forward to more soon 🥰👍🏻
God what a baller car. You are right in that the bronze doesnt work. I love this car, but a normal s65 does just fine. Sadly, the interior in that car can be had on a base s450 (USA base), just without the carbon, but you can order the full leather package and the Burmester High End audio. I had the pleasure of sitting in an s65 once (owned by Bill Marriott, yes that Marriott), and i was blown away by just how cool and understated this car is. Another great video Sam.
Damn, after all the 'too long and too informative' videos, this was so good, so entertaining and informative as well. The proper combination of information, exploration and enjoyment. Another superb video Sam. Oh! and that S65 sounds 'MIGHTY'... Giving it a thumbs up and waiting for plenty more videos to come ...
Chris Harris loves the Mclaren GT! He says its comfortable for cruising and can destroy a road. You wont be using your Mclaren at the track most of the time he reckons, so its stupid its set up for track times and not road performance. I think you should give it a back to back test drive, Sam, the MclarenGT vs another Mclaren model, would be a great video!! Love the video mate, long time subscriber, keep it up!! (love the podcasts with Tony, looking forward to another Tony+Paul ep ;) )
Man I remember driving a s550 in black with tan/espresso interior which is my ideal spec and I was in love, then got out and gave it to the owner and felt normal again.
The bronze and chrome definitely clash. One or both would have to go. Sounds epic! I hope the V12 continues on, it would be a damn shame if it were to go away.
This dash seems much more finished and luxurious then the 2021. The exposed tablet edges of the 2021 are a terrible idea. It's too bad about the bronze on this version, otherwise this car is incredible.
Why do we still need to mention soft close doors separately? They were already implemented in W140 S500 back in 95 or 96 year. And were standard for S600
I don't know why they didn't just bronze everything. That grill, the doors the headlights. Everything chrome should've been bronze. When you said Ouch I felt that too.
Sharp looking design You want to see it sporty it is You want to see it classic, modern or luxury If you're young or old it will fits anyway What a nice car🥵
Personally I think the McLaren GT is a good idea. There are all these cars that take away creature comforts to improve the way drives on rare occasions when it is being pushed to its limits. The GT on the other hand makes the car better to drive the majority of the time at a small price of top end performance.
The design of the current S class is perfect. It just works and will always work. If Mercedes were smart they’d follow Porsche’s model of gently tweaking the 911’s design every several years, instead of the radical new S class design that most think is terrible. If you have something that works, stick with it.
@@seenthroughglass bro you deserve more. Because the new trend of car youtubers is buying new cars every week. channels like your don't get the reach they get. I like all your slomo too.
„Most S-Class customers want to be discrete“ - I thinks that’s probably why they buy a boisterous V12 car that drowns out every other noise in a 20m radius lol
ironically my friend had a performante in matte grey for a week and was considering to buy it, he said to me he want to be more descreet because it has a huge wing and a agressive lines so people will talk shit....bought yellow gt2 rs instead :D :D :D also has some more cars such as 918, TDF and so on and still thinks he is descreet lol
Massive fan of Sam and what he's doing with the channel but the bronze and chrome together is a shocker and I nearly skipped past the exterior to the interior part of the video. Can't quite understand how anyone at Mercedes thought it looked good on any car let alone a £250,000 one! I' d love to hear Tony's thoughts on it
wait, you said from the outside it looks like a standard S Class but from the inside there's no mistaking this for something very very special.. They are almost exactly the same except for a few small differences like the display on the screen and the badges
One of my dream cars. I want one so bad you can get them here in the US fairly cheap in the used Market mid-thirties a decent one but the maintenance is outrageous but you can't find 620 horsepower for around 30k anywhere
Great look. But would have looked better is the grill was a mix of the bronze and chrome. Also the letters would look better in bronze while window frame blacked out.
Holy mother of Pagani god that sounds like a good old lion

Seen Through Glass pp poo
Is it just me or has Sam started ‘popping and locking’ when standing on camera talking about stuff....🤣
d9e9v9il definitely
The little side step shuffle is very annoying isn't it :)
I noticed this aswell. He keep doing this weird shuffle every once in a while.
It's like a robot on speed
It’s just silly
Stradman would love that Purple Lambo...
Ha so true!
Yep me too
Long live the V12! sadly it's days might be numbered ☹️
I guess we all got to try and own one before it’s too late
they already confirmed the next 223 is getting the V12 too with 4matic, just not as an AMG
Just Huayra swap them
Anyone noticed how Sam does these little tiny happy steps when he's doing wide shots?
throws me off so much lol
It’s so annoying.
V12 for the next S-Class Generation has already been confirmed. However, this will probably be the last time that we will be seeing a V12 in an AMG S-Class.
Thats right. I think they confirmed it will be on the Maybach version but not on the standard S Class and AMG versions
and it’s probably 4matic
It’s for the Maybach
Seen Through Glass waddle intensifies
This car is amazing.That sound system propably is the highest level you can buy now.
Think the best sound systems will be the Naim system they use in Bentleys. A decent naim hi fi for your house will cost you 20k
Freddie Jones My father has the Naim in his Mulsanne and honestly it’s amazing I had the opportunity to be around few luxury cars and although they are all similar and quite honestly a normal human wouldn’t be able to tell a drastic difference between them, the Naim just sounds special and extremely crisp if that makes sense.
@@ANDRE_675 the reason I am aware of Naim as a brand is my dad has one in their house. Very impressive.
7:58 don’t all S-Class saloons come with the hood ornament? Also I think all the chrome should have been that bronze/copper colour
I think so and fully agree. Just doesn't really stand out as much when looking at it from the front which is kind of unfortunate.
100% correct. Sam is wrong here.
The coupes have the grill badge but for the ones like this 100%
Even the C-Class has the hood ornament.
God that sounds incredible! Great video mate :-)

The ultimate Exec saloon in the ultimate spec. Always loved S65
Love the condensation spitting out of the exhaust! So epic. Great video Sam! Your craftsmanship and quality is as usual second to none.
The idea that there won't be a v12 s class going forward is depressing.
That performante was stunning

Man I remember driving a s550 in black with tan/espresso interior which is my ideal spec and I was in love, then got out and gave it to the owner and felt normal again.
Would you rather have this or a bentley flying spur? Been looking at both but need an experts opinion
15:14 gosh that sound is so angry
Sam, the S65 has more than 700 lbft of torque not nm (even though 700 lbft is more than 700 nm)
The bronze and chrome definitely clash. One or both would have to go. Sounds epic! I hope the V12 continues on, it would be a damn shame if it were to go away.

It's the last V12 for the AMG line-up. On the next generation S-class, the V12 will continue to live exclusively in the Maybach ones.
I really like that you have addressed the infamous m3 csl video. Very well done. Class act.
Finally, a Mercedes that has a sunroof that darkens...like McLaren...or the 612 Scaglietti. :-)
I think mercedes had this first like 4 years ago it was already a feature in the s class. Just so expensive that no one got it
They’ve had it for ages
Sam, how much were they selling the Ferrari 308 GTS for?
Have always had a soft spot for the S65 AMG and this final edition doesn’t get any better!
It sounds angry!
Great vid dude 👊🏽
By the way, Mercedes still makes the V12 but it’s on the S Class Maybach and it’s badged as a S600
Why do we still need to mention soft close doors separately? They were already implemented in W140 S500 back in 95 or 96 year. And were standard for S600
Have you seen the office US?
That noise is something else! 👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I am just not a fan of Mercedes-Benz but Amari has incredible cars in stock, wow!

Was that fuel being dispersed from the exhaust as he rev's the car?
