Never underestimate the S65! 
Mercedes was always once step ahead of the game, but now BMW is catching up via using turbos on there M cars (X5, X6) and its V8s and V12s as well.
You could say bye bye S600, which is rated at 510bhp and 612lbft of torque, but given it has slightly less bhp (34bhp) but more torque, I would say it would be interesting to have a S600 vs 760Li comparison!!! (V12 TT vs V12 TT) |
I think that the 760 is a 'Brutal car' in it's own right.
I wouldn't say 'bye bye S65' since in all fairness, the S65 is a TUNED car and not a standard car in the same sense as the 760.
To be fair, I think that the M division would have to have a go at it and tune it into an ///M version of the 760.
e.g. S65 (AMG tuned) vs. ///M760 (M Gmbh tuned)
But in terms of a direct comparison, I agree with you, it would be nice to see an S600 vs. 760 going head to head (but preferably by someone that is not biased towards either the MB or BMW!).
