As Mercedes-Benz’s S-class gets a refresh for 2010, the high-performance AMG models will be updated as well. Official press pictures will be released during the Shanghai auto show later this month, but the automaker’s German-market online configurator has spilled the beans early.

For some drivers, it's not enough to arrive in a 600-horsepower luxury sedan, they've got to make sure that everyone knows it's a 600-horsepower luxury sedan. For these buyers, the facelifted 2010 Mercedes S63 AMG and S65 AMG are good news. As the flagship sedan has gotten updated for the new year, so has the high-performance version. Details have been leaked by Mercedes' German online configuration website, which has images of the S63 AMG and S65 AMG ahead of the car's official Shanghai Auto Show reveal.

There don't seem to be any changes under the hood as both models retain the same powertrains with the S63 featuring a 518HP 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine and the S65 a 604HP twin-turbocharged V12. Official details and photos are to be released during this month's Shanghai Auto Show in China where both models will be making their world premiere.
