It's the S65, something around 200k, 610hp and 740 lb-ft of torque. It belongs to our boss (my former boss now), he lent it to the groom for the weekend. The owner isn't a Kennedy, he's just a rich car fanatic. Don't be to envious, that thing isn't all that great at the end of the day... I love mercedes, but it's frustrating to drive, it accelerates like a bat out of hell, but that is about where the fun stops. It weights close to 6000lbs so it doesn't stop or corner any better than my 17 year old E class. The traction control can't be turned off and with how retarded it is, it'll get you in serious trouble if you like to hoon; that's a Mercedes thing though, they have always had the worst traction control. It's also really uninspiring as it doesn't have a real exauste note, it just sounds like baffled flatchulence. Lastly there are way to many useless features I couldn't figure out how to turn off (for example the seat bolsters that move as you corner) because the onboard computer is harder to navigate than an uncharted cave system. Buying a S class AMG is sort of pointless, it's just a way to flaunt your wealth. If something has an AMG badge on it I expect it to be sporty, which the S65 is not, it's just a cruise liner that can drag race. If I had 200k to blow on a Merc I'd get one that handles well; what I mean is, I'd get the SLS. Or save a few hundred thousand and get the car parked next to it, a 335i, it's way more fun to drive than the S65.
