S65 AMG vs Lamborghini Murcielago

[GaryST220]

Thought this was worth a post, stunning performance on behalf of the S65

S65 AMG
600BHP & 1000NM

Murcielago
572BHP & 650NM

Cut 3 passenger and all that weight in the boot and the Murcielago wouldn't see which way it went. The way the Merc lurched forward was seriously impressive.

There's another German saloon with stated outputs of between 493 and 530 bhp which will cause similar havoc.

I have seen that video so many times. Love it. S65 is one of my favourite cars.

[GaryST220]

Here is a similar video, RS6 vs R8 V10. Admittedly the RS6 is heavily tuned, but its still awesome

Looks like it was 5 pretty fat knackers in the S65 too.

On a wet public road. What could possibly go wrong?

S65 - Biblical.

[sebhaque]

Wow, impressive stuff on the Merc's part. Never realised just how fast they actually were.

The Murci's sound though...

Monster power (Merc)

[CarMad426]

Awesome video, that S65 is a monster.

[GaryST220]

I may get attacked for saying this, but given a choice of the two I'm slightly inclined to take the S65

The same power as the Lambo but with the usability and practicality of an every day car. Same goes for the RS6 in the second video.

218mph in an estate car?!

Yes, yes, yes.

The big Mercs have been known about for a while and once you do a little reading you realise you dont bother poncing about with the God awfully ugly latest style, but you go back to the previous style. Then you do some more research, learn the lesson of DJC rule no 4 and eventually alight on the CL65's from 2004 that hang around the £30-£35k mark.

Unfortunately all this comes to a shuddering halt when you contemplate the interior. And you realise that if you have even a modicum of taste, class and style you couldnt possibly live with the interior.

Been there, done..., etc, etc, etc.

Is it just me that thinks that the merc is very very impressive, but its a silver saloon.

the lambo on the other hand is a lambo in a "I want to take all my clothes off and run about naked" kind of way.

I've seen that before, mental!

Mighty torque being a big benefit for the S65 there, awesome video!

A saloon car with a big engine will never be more than just a saloon car with a big engine...

There's nothing like bringing your friends along for the ride though!

I love the big AMG Mercs, would love one.
