It depends on how much weight they can shave off the 7er. From a performance standpoint, you would rather have a lighter car with lower HP but better weight /power ratio, than a heavier car with high hp.

From a marketing perspective--more hp/tq sells cars. So in comparison to an S-class AMG, the new 7er may be a fail.
