Unveiled in Frankfurt 2005 and on the market since early 2006, it's hard to believe the current W221 S-Class is already approaching its mid-life cycle refreshing. As a result, spy photographers have caught the S-Class AMG facelift on the road in the American desert performing hot weather testing.

Along with the regular S-class, the AMG version will undergo a modest refresh, getting a new, lower front bumper fascia. We also think a set of new exhaust tips may be in the works since this prototype is sporting generic exhaust pipes.

The S63 and S65 AMG models should retain their current powertrains, but may receive a few technology updates. The S-Class facelift is due for unveiling in 2009.

The kind of engines it will have, if you like torque tuned engines. BMWs are just as good but they're different.

Hmmm, sounds like a comment from someone who hasn't spent much seat time in a W221...

What is up with the prototype's 'pee-shooting' exhaust pipes? Those new exhausts better be good....

Thats what the pipes look like under the car on the way to the outlets. These just don't have any finishers on the ends. Mercedes must be hiding something interesting up their sleeves.

the s class is a fantastic car but im not sure that this face lift is really sugnificant becuase if they hadn't convered it up no one would of noticed it had a facelift becuase that is how minor it is...

This is the best car you can buy. Of course I prefer 65 version but 63 is as well perfect.

Got an S65 sitting here at work right now. Just an awesome machine.

IMO, the best sedan you can get. Audi and BMW counterparts are just as good depending on taste. But soo much torque...such a beast.

Looks like they're shifting to the type of AMG bumpers on the C63. It's a good move to differentiate the real AMG's from regular cars with AMG body-kits (like the sport versions.)
