Not sure if this has been posted here and I know its not directly related to the C63 in any way or form but the most enthusiasts sit here. This is crazy for a 4600 plus pound car even with AWD and no DCT no??? (trap speed especially)

Damn, that's a long shopping list of kills. It's amazing what a good power plant and AWD can do.
So...when's the next Transporter movie coming out

Not to steal any thunder away from the S8, my 2012 V ran 12.18 @ 119 at the track last week in stock form. It's stunning how fast some of these cars are off the showroom floor.

Read the article two days ago. Looks like they geared that transmission perfectly as well to be able to give it that extra oomph. Well done.

2013 Fiat Abarth
the s6 and 7 have the same engine, but detuned, because the RS versions are going to get the same engine with more power output. in the S8 case, they don't make an RS varient, so it usually gets good power. My dad has the 4.2 liter V8 A8 long wheel base, and let me tell u, that thing is pretty good on the road, 5.1-5.3 to 60. this one is lighter, with around 140 more HP, i believe it

Finally, they got rid of the 4.2 v8 and used better engines in the S cars.. To bad no s6 avant, would buy that right away..
2014 e550 4matic vs s6 will be a very good comparison!

Although I finally can give them credit for making S line what it always should have been, great performance, it still looks awkward to me compared to other sedans in its class.
