What is this ????
I don't usually post here but I saw something that puzzled me. Drove behind what appears to be W221. This one was black and on the left side of the trunk lid it says "S600" and on the right side "AMG". After market wheels. Four exhaust pipes. What exactly was I looking at ???? This was a seriously fast car; he changed lanes and was just gone !!!

The S600 is not an AMG, but it definitely has a lot of power however not as much as the S65 AMG, here's the fact sheet both vehicles;
Bi-turbo V-12 engine
The S600 racks up such high numbers - 510 horsepower, 612 lb-ft of peak torque between 1,800-3,500 rpm and a 0-to-60 time of just 4.5 seconds(1) - because its powerplant infuses brawn with brilliance. The staggering low-end torque stems from two compact turbochargers, which, with an optimized turbine, also nearly eliminate "turbo lag." And two liquid-to-air intercoolers yield a charge for more powerful combustion - and more powerful performance.
On the other hand;
The S65, with its 604-hp, twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V-12 producing 738 lb-ft of torque from 2000 to 4000 rpm. An AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS five-speed automatic transmission is standard. According to Mercedes-Benz, the S65 AMG has a top speed of 155 mph and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. The EPA reports that it nets a city/highway fuel economy of 11/17 mpg. The S65 AMG improves on the already impressive S-Class lineup with an AMG-built 604-horsepower V12 engine. That’s 222 more horsepower than the base S550; 94 more horsepower than the S600; and 86 more horsepower than the S63.

Hey Rajwany,
The wheels are 360 Forged Spec 5ives and they were originally brushed aluminum, but I sent them back to the manufacturer to have them powder coated glossy black. The way the wheels originally looked can be seen on the link below;
