why would they compare the AMG V8 to the V12TT? Common S65 even the S600 > 760li

I really wish they would've compared the 760Li to either the S600 or S65. Would've made a much fairer comparison.

But I've gotta say, those are two very good looking cars IMO.

looking for an AMG
Was wondering the same. I think the s65 would have been unfair because someone would play the price card. The S63 was a little unfair since it was a v8 against a twin turbo v12. Based on price, the S600 would have been the ideal matchup. Either way, enjoyed seeing the S63 on top gear regardless.

I thoroughly enjoyed that video. Typical of Top Gear, great commentary, footage, camera angles, special effects and overall production.

Granted the S65 would have been a better match for the BMW, but the 63 held its own very well.

Who cares that the 63 lost to the BMW, both cars are incredible.

I'm not so sure the S65 would better the S63 on that highly technical track.
In a straight line it would be no contest of course.
