Fifth Gear tests the Mercedes S65 AMG

The car did not "break down" after doing a donut....the guy driving the car is joking - otherwise he would not say that it's the best performance sedan at the end of the drive.

He had nothing but admiration for the S65. And rightly so, it is a technological tour de force, blending insane performance and pace with aggressive elegance and refinement in every regard.

The 'break down' is a real puzzler, because we did not actually know what happened? Did the elctronics throw a hissy fit? Not sure on that one.

Never mind, the car is still fabulous and should be celebrated, not shot down by the classless posters who frequently post on this site.

I won't say at all the world best car. There also other great cars in which when you drive even more that 100miles you feel extremely relaxe(don't need and want to metion the brands).

But i've to say that i realy like this Mercedes. It's lovely, beautiful and powerful, everything at same time!

They review a $180 thousand dollar car and it was a worthless review.

Why don't they get Mario Andretti and put the S65 on the Las Vegas NASCAR Speedway and find out how fast the S65 will go and stop wasting my time!

That is so called "Super German Engineering" I guess. ^o^

What does this have to do with build quality? Nothing. There is a system onboard which shuts down the car when the sensors detect overheating etc. It's called a "safety measure", specifically, a preventative safety measure.

Stupid trolls.
