S63 AMG vs Panamera Turbo vs M6



Three of the top German luxury performers -- the Mercedes-AMG S63, the Porsche Panamera Turbo, and the BMW M6 -- face off. But there can only be one winner.

Sort of irrelevant test for those of us who drive on the proper side of the road.

This is really interesting. I figured I would buy a 2017-2018 S63 in 4 years when my current warranty is up on my 2012 S63 but after seeing that beautiful red Panamera in that video, and knowing that they will available in Turbo S sometimes this summer to check out, I may go w/one of these Panamera Turbo "S"s instead. Sweet car. Never liked the looks before but this revamp is pretty cool. Some friends think my MB S63 is WAY too big for a single guy like me and a bit stodgy. I don't agree, but it was an interesting observation.


What do you all think of this 2017 model? In Turbo S dressing, it would be the same HP as the S63 but more sports car like. The big problem though is that if I have 4 friends to pick up, I can't, only 3. That may be a deal killer for me. I like being able to chauffeur around 4 other friends when required. In comfort, somewhat. Not great comfort for that middle seated guy, but for shorter rides under 90 minutes it's doable.

Turbo S will have 680HP and most torque available from idle (electric power).
