Mercedes-Benz AMG® Muscle

One category that Mercedes-Benz does better than any other company in the world is power. Especially with Mercedes-Benz AMG® vehicles, no other automaker puts as much attention to detail and care into building engines, which is proven by the Mercedes-Benz one man, one engine promise. Each engine is carefully put together by the hands of an expert Mercedes-Benz engineer. Because of this, The S 63 is able to put out more horsepower and torque with a smaller displacement.  

The S 63 uses a 5.5L AMG® Biturbo V8 engine to make 577 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. The 6.3L W12 in the Audi is powerful, but without biturbo technology, it is only able to make 500 horsepower and 463 lb-ft of torque. This is a significant difference when you consider the price and 0-60 times of each luxury sedan. The A8 needs 4.4 seconds to get to 60, but the S 63 can do it in 3.9. This goes to show that even though these cars are extremely heavy, they can still outrun basically anyone on the road.
