Hot on the heels of the official introduction of the new M-Class at the Detroit Auto Show, Mercedes-Benz is bringing a healthy dose of horsepower to the Chicago Auto Show. Making its North American debut in Chicago, the new S65 AMG is powered by the awesome 6.0-liter V12 producing 604 horsepower and 738 ft.-lb. of torque.
To help stir the air of The Windy City a bit more, Mercedes-Benz will be bringing the AMG "one man, one engine" philosophy to life, and actually hand-assemble the 6.0-liter V12 engine on the Mercedes-Benz display. A technician from AMG in Affalterbach, Germany, will be on hand to build one engine on each of the two media days preceding the public opening -- average build time for each engine is roughly 7 hours. A true auto show first, this event will be the only time these engines will be assembled outside of the AMG engine facility in Affalterbach.
