The Mercedes-AMG S65 Final Edition waves goodbye to a stalwart powerplant: the company's 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-12. Mercedes in February confirmed that the special sedan will mark the end of the road for the engine in the S-Class range, and that we'll see the covers come off at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show alongside the SLC Final Edition and the SL Grand Edition, which are likely swan songs themselves for the SLC and SL. While the SLC isn't likely to be replaced, the SL isn't disappearing. It's expected to return in the form of a more luxurious soft-top convertible with 2+2...

This off-road S-Class is what Mad Max would drive if he won the lottery
Mercedes-Benz built the W140-generation S-Class from 1991 through 1998. During that time, we'd estimate that approximately zero of the engineers involved in the project ever envisioned a jacked-up, off-road version sitting atop a former military truck chassis. Someone out there figured that this...

That way you'll be in the same company as former popes, kings and queens, and the odd dictator. The latest version is offered by the Maybach sub-brand, and it's just been updated with even more swank and performance. Not that you'd actually be doing the driving in your Pullman, but we're sure you'll be happy to know the car's 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-12 is now delivering 621 horsepower, up from 523 hp previously. That will get you and your...

Depreciation is the ninth wonder of the world. (Compound interest is the eighth, in case you're wondering.) When it comes to picking out some of the finest automobiles, their high asking prices may not always lead to sky-high residual values. In this case of this 2006 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG, it sold for less than 2 percent of its original MSRP. That's correct, this $200,000 luxury sedan was bought for the same price as some common economy cars; the seller walked away with the car after handing over $3,750 in cash. According to the buyer, who posted the purchase to YouTube in the video above...
