In conjunction with the roll-out of the first batch of the W222 Mercedes-Benz S-Class off the company's Sindelfingen Plant, Mercedes-Benz released a video showcasing the car's production line, giving us an insight into how Stuttgart's latest flagship is put together.
But what's very interesting is what Mercedes-Benz sneaked into the end of the video - there's a version of the W222 S-Class which we have yet to see before, bearing a much more aggressive front end than the regular and AMG Sport Pack versions of the S-Class that we've already seen.
Yes, it's the new Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG - the badge on the rear can clearly be seen. This white S63 AMG is conveniently followed by a grey AMG Sport Pack version of the car on the production line so you can see the difference - the full AMG car doesn't have the chrome line across the air intakes on the left and right of the bumper.
The W221 S63 AMG was powered by a 6.2 litre V8 normally aspirated engine producing 525 PS and 630Nm of torque. We're expecting the W222 S63 AMG to follow a similiar formula to what's under the facelifted E63 AMG's hood - switching to a smaller displacement V8 at 5.5 litres but adding two turbochargers for a more powerful engine producing 557 PS and 720Nm of torque.
Now the question is will the 1,000Nm V12 turbo powered S65 AMG continue to exist for the W222?
