4.6sec 0-60 is what I think this car would do, almost AMG territory, do we really need a S65? To compete wwith what?

S550
I saw 4.8 written so maybe it could hit 4.6....With numbers like these and the S63, I'll bet they could bring a 3.5 or 3.6 sec S65.....Who knows what RENNTECH could bring that down to if torque hitting all 4 wheels? The W222, from all the Maybachian interior improvements, fender un-flares, performance and gadgetry increases has outdated our W221s more than previously thought when we first saw how closely they resembled each other at first glance. The W220 S65 was actually slightly faster than the W221, so this car is win/win over the previous generation on all counts! Some great deals to be had on W221 S65s though, still amazing cars, and a good amount of people won't easily be telling the difference.
