Given that the results of the drag race and the TG track test, the 6.2L held up pretty well against the BMW twin turbo V12. James May was in the back seat of the S63 supposedly(I'm sure it was clearly for show re: massage rear seats) for the drag race and came very close. The track results were good too.

You are right though, the S65 would been a much better pick performance wise but they did it out of price.
