Now that Mercedes has unveiled the updated 2010 S-Class sedan, it may need a new promotion to close out the 2009 models. So now Mercedes is offering a AMG Sports appearance package for this year’s remaining flagships. Just like our S550 tester, the package has the 19 inch AMG light-alloy wheels and a little extra flair in the bodywork. The AMG package also includes a new front apron, rear apron, rectangular tailpipe trim in polished stainless steel, , perforated brake discs and silver-painted brake callipers featuring Mercedes-Benz lettering. Since the pricing has only been given so far in Euros (between €5,831 and €7973 — about $7750 to $10500), there has not been confirmation of the AMG package in the U.S. yet. But interested European customers can start looking like a full-size AMG Mercedes in June. Press release after the jump. Full story 2010 S-Class promotional video
Mercedes is in full roll-out mode for the refreshed 2010 S-Class. Yesterday we saw details on the AMG versions, and now a detailed video on the whole line has been released. The engine lineup will carryover the same four models in the current car: 382-hp V8 S550, 518-hp V8 S63 AMG, 510-hp V12 S600 and, 604-hp V12 S65 AMG. There is also a new S400 hybrid model that combines the 275 hp 3.5-liter V6 with a ithium-ion battery pack, which gives up to a 20 hp boost. The S400 should have a combined fuel economy of 29 mpg. Mercedes S63 and S65 AMG revealed
Now that Mercedes has given the standard S-Class a facelift, it’s time for the AMG models to get a touch up. The actual car won’t be revealed until the Shanghai Auto Show later this month, but Car and Driver caught an early leak. The largest exterior upgrade is the LED lighting package also given across the S-Class line, so there are no surprises here. Other feature such as the wider air intake on the front lip, special wheels, and quad exhaust pipes are AMG mainstays. There also is no change in engine lineup: the S63 AMG has the 518 hp 6.2-liter V-8, and the S65 AMG has the 604 hp 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12. So if it just a minor change why are we making a post about it? Well even a minor tweak is a good excuse to show a full-size sedan that can go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds (S65) and hit a top speed of 186 mph when ungoverned. 2009 Mercedes-Benz by Relux

Mercedes S-Class Coupe AMG - first spy shot
 Mercedes is working on an update to the S-Class, and where the sedan goes, the its CL-Class sibling will follow. Only this time its rumored that Mercedes may drop the CL name its been using for over a decade in favor of calling the cars "S-Class coupes".

2010 Mercedes S63 AMG spy shot
 We know Mercedes is working on a mild touch-up to the S-Class. Here’s the latest spy shot, this time of a hot-rod-with-etiquette AMG version. Although the S-Class isn’t currently showing its age, BMW has its new 7-Series, so Mercedes doesn’t want the sun to settle on its flagship car. The engine lineup isn’t expected to change, but the design is supposed to take cues from the Ocean Drive concept. This S63 AMG should arrive with new bumpers similar to SL65 Black Series, new side mirrors, LED daylights, quad exhaust pipes and cross-driller brakes. All of this should be confirmed by September when the car will be shown at the Frankfurt Auto Show.
