S600 sport trim vs.... sport trim??

aloha and good morning!

so mercedes claims 2 sport packages, the obvious sport package trim and then this one -



only difference is exterior trim??

i find the trim above aka sport package priced less than the average and aggressive sport package trim.. (similar to mine)

coming from my viewing angle, i have the s430 with a "sport kewl trim"
rid my 20s for the original comfort that 18s give me.. i could care less about the looks, just the inside/engine is what matters - if anyone could briefly elaborate the difference between the 2 models, i may purposely find the "less sport trim" shown above only because it looks very humble on the road.. (but with enough torque to move earth)

thanks guys.

Where does Mercedes claim that's sport trim?

Those are the regular V12 wheels and the actual bodywork doesn't look anything like my AMG appearance package S600. The front lip and side skirts look like any other non-AMG W220.

yeah,. sport means amg bumpers and rockers. there is only one sport style from 99-02 and then a slight difference for facelift 03-06, but again, only one sport. the one you pictured there is not a sport
