You've read the specs:  a monstrous 612 horsepower V12; 0-60 in 4.4 seconds; a top speed that if unrestricted falls around the 200 mph mark.  Yes, the Mercedes S65 truly is a remarkable creature.  And while one would think that a vehicle of this nature would be praised, that it would be commended for pushing the boundaries of of the luxury genre, it's often ridiculed... ridiculed by whiny little bitches whose wallets and testicles aren't big enough to handle such a beast.

Surely, surely there's at least one one human being on this earth capable of harnessing the S65's power - capable of understanding why exactly Mercedes created a sedan that can reach such tremendous velocities... isn't there?

Enter Theo Paphitis. He's ranks as Britain's 444th richest man, is valued at roughly 125 million, and is the star of show known as the Dragon's Den.  Surely, someone of this stature should easily be capable of corralling a wayward AMG-powered luxury sedan, right?

To find out, Fifth Gear took Theo, along with another female reviewer, for a brief spin in the S, affording him the opportunity to test what is now the flagship Mercedes sedan.  As you'll see in the video, after a brief semi-high speed run, a few donuts and the final culminating S65 breakdown, Theo's assessment is I believe an accurate representation of the vehicle:  it's not a sports car; it's not meant to be driven by a chauffeur; but when faced with the task of which S-Class to purchase... which S-Class would he himself want to drive... this would be the one, because, quite simply, it's the best.

Overall, a nice departure from the typical S65 reviews we've read so many a time.
