@@dannyz955 V12's gave Mercedes a kind of street cred that put a halo on everything else. These cars all cost over $200k and MB could've charged more. I don't see how they failed to earn enough money when we were willing to pay whatever. They're out of production now mostly because of emissions standards around the world.
Yes V12s always hit the soft spot for us enthusiasts, but we are still a small representation of the population. I think there was simply a loss of interest in V12 designs on MB's part over the years. One could say the M120 V12 was MB's most valiant effort in producing the finest high performance engine to fit their lineup, yet MB eventually shied away from this valiancy. Following the M120, the M137 was in every way a cost cut version of its predecessor, being SOHC and 3V per cylinder it made less power. The M275 was essentially a M137 with turbos introduced to address the power issue, and in that regard it was successful; but it was also in a sense a poison pill to the ingenuity of engine designers at MB, as they have realized, why bother pushing for better motor design and materials when they could just put thicker blocks and bigger turbos? And take this argument a little further, what could a V12 biturbo do that a 4.0 V8 biturbo could not, performance numbers wise? The general public did not care. They were happy enough as long as they get the badge, 0-60 number and plush interiors. But those that cared knew that some things were lost and could not be recovered. The smoothness, throttle response, the chordal voice that only belongs to an NA DOHC V12. It's truly a shame that MB slacked off on their V12's starting from the M137, but it's probably not their fault. The emission standards can take a lot of blame for sure, but all emission standards could be overcome with enough R&D. So in the end, it's the general consumers who decide what type of cars gets produced, whether it's visceral driving machines, lean econoboxes, or tall riding family haulers. If Ferrari, Lambo and Aston can keep their V12 cult going, there could still be hope for these lofty engines yet.
Don’t worry! The AMG version might be dead but we at Brabus will keep it up as long as possible. Our 900hp V12 is now available in the new G-Class and will stay in the next generation S-Class as well.

Blessed to say I was able to drive one of the few 2020 S65 Final Editions in the USA before delivering it to its first owner. One of the best days of my Mercedes sales career.
Thx 4 reviewing it. Over 16 years, it serves as a flagship engines of MB. You see the $3k carbon engine cover, lol. Besides the problem of ignition coil pack problem; it is super strong. The start sound always makes me happy. If you shorten the period of oil change, it will serve you strong and beautiful.
As a guy who grew up on NFS and one day dreamed of owning somthing special like a M275 motored car, your soundtrack choice is so spot on. Id listen to those songs just dreaming what it would be like. Very happy owner of a 06 CL65. One of my dream cars I thought would never happen!
I know this is quite the old comment but how has the reliability and maintenance been on your CL65? I've been looking pretty seriously into getting one of the V12 TT Mercs for awhile now. Seems like as long as the ABC system is maintained religiously the rest isn't too bad.
As others have said its mainly the coilpacks that gave me issues. Sold it almost 2 years ago now. Rear main was starting to leak. But previous owner had extensive work to turbos done since they can have heat issues that cause premature degradation. All that ill probably own another one just in a newer chassis. But all that aside, they are special. Pull the trigger, and dont be afraid to spend a bit extra on one well sorted. Its money u will spend either way. This way its more enjoyable and instantly usable. ABC was my last expense. Was expensive, but such a killer system
@@astonmartinzz Thanks for the response! I have a penchant for old dubiously reliable cars so I’ve learned the lesson well of buying the best sorted and pampered one you can afford. As you said it’s money you’ll spend either way.
Haha SAME! I call myself a vehicular masochist. Replaced the CL with a Maserati GranSport lol But its better than just milling around in another same ole same ole someone else and their friend has
It’s very useful for us when you make it a point to tell us what vehicles these engines were in. That way if we ever want to own one we have some idea of what we’re looking for. Thanks for all the informative videos👍
My Volker Haag assembled m275 has 108k on it, I basically daily the car, definitely the best car I’ve ever owned, I absolutely love it, it’s my therapy
Thank you for a high quality and deeply informative video! It was nostalgic to hear a tune from the Need for Speed 4 😊 But I love the engine story even more. Keep up the great work!
great engine. I replaced the coil packs in my AMG S65 at 105,000 miles and it made a huge difference. I never get tired of hearing the initial engine startup
Hey man I just wanna say thanks for the amazing videos. I recently bought a W211 E63 about a week ago so amazing really wanted a E55 but I still love it! It’s really an amazing feeling to have your own amg!
During 18 years of ownership I never had an issue with my SL65 AMG (R230) but this week the motor symbol popped up and I had to go to my friendly repair shop for a check-up. It's cause by the ignition but I don't know yet the details. It could be just humidity but a more severe problem can't be ruled out at this point in time. Given the long time hassle free ownership of this M275 powered car I'm still happy because the the smooth power delivery is unique and if you rev it up it starts hurling like a race car. This engine is a brutal beast.
Right?! The most subtle yet brutal 4 door out there. I'm happy they stuffed that thing into a w220 for at least a year. BMW should have done that with the M5, a 2004 E39, with the V10 in it.
By far my favorite powerplant that any automaker has ever offered. It's a shame to see it go. The v8 biturbo is nice, and more practical, but it just simply lacks the character of the v12 biturbo.
Ridiculously smooth, ridiculously powerful, and ridiculously quiet. Also, ridiculously annoying to work on as well. Subframe has to be removed (R230) to change engine mounts. 🤦♂️
I have a Bentley Cont GT And the torque sucks compared to the S65. I drive both. Believe me, night and day difference. Do t get me wrong the Bentley rolls out. But that Raw Torque is just Awesome!

Knock the M137 all you want, but an elderly couple used to bring one in to our MB dealer with over 400k miles. They put a new engine in it when it wasn't financially sound at all. Loved it too much. The issues are solved rather easily.

@@Gianni2002 with proper fluid service. Internally this engine is bulletproof. The ignition coil packs are very expensive when they fail. But if you change the spark plugs with oem ngks coil pack failure should only occur once in the cars life....unless you beat or tune it a and hot rod the car. Mechanically engine and trans very solid
Forgot to mention other M275 common oil leaks caused by dry rubber seals: 1. Center cover in the middle of V shape, there is oil pressure supply for turbochargers trough center cover that is sealed with engine block using poor rubber O-ring, when it fails oil gets into empty chamber at the end of engine then it leaks trough center cover straight onto transmission bellhousing. To fix this issue you will need TO REMOVE BOTH CYLINDER HEADS!!! TO REMOVE CYLINDER HEADS YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE ENGINE OUT!!! 2. Thermostat housing rubber gasket leak: To remove thermostat housing you will need to remove front timing chain cover that has cylinder heads on top of it!!! There are too many rubber seals in this engine to fail, if not the mileage then the time will kill them. 3. Exhaust valve stem seals: once these are cooked by V12 heat oil will leak straight on to valve seat, that will cause improper seal and engine will loose on compression. After 200000 miles got 8mm chain stretch, cracked chain guides, cracked oil separation system components, minimal or near no wear on other hard components like cylinders, pistons and bearings. Liked valve stem sleeves were made of iron :) I'd say it is reliable but still overall PITA by the coils THAT WILL DRIVE YOU NUTS FOR SURE!!! Love and hate that, somehow i feel Bentley GT made their W12 better...
@@laurarudzionyte374 Good question! I pulled the timing cover to peek at it. One main shell made it into the chains. I've not torn it down further. IF once it is torn down the front main can get cleaned up well enough to squeeze another shell and be happy it may just get a stroked crankshaft and a few other bits that may make her live with still more boost. Alas; time and money!
