Top Gear returns with a new episode and for us, the BMW fans, it gets quite exciting. Top Gear decides to compare the all new BMW flagship, 760Li, against Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG. The BMW 760i and 760Li are powered by a completely new 6.0-liter V12 all-aluminum engine with Twin-Turbo Technology.

The V12 engine outputs 544 horsepower at 5,000 rpm, with maximum torque of 533 lb-ft at 1,500.The engine is matted to an 8-speed automatic transmission and the 760 runs from 0-60 mph in just 4.6 seconds.

Now, let’s take a look at the Mercedes Benz S63 AMG. The S63 uses a 6.3-liter V8 engine which outputs a hefty 456 lb-ft. of torque on tap and 518-horsepower. The engine is matted to AMG-modified seven-speed automatic.

Who takes the crown? Let’s watch this great video from Top Gear.

Both cars are amaaaaazing! I still love the looks of the S63 way better than the 760! i think i just cant get over the fact that this new 7 series looks soooooo similar to the previous one! it should not be considered the new shape!

Excellent video! Top Gear rocks!

I think this is why they didnt compare it with S65, over S63 BMW have advantage, but then why they compared them, may be price factor, diffrence between s63 and s65 is huge, and 760li costs same as s63, Just my idea.

Qoute from MERCEDES Website,

The S65 AMG blends the whisper-smooth performance of the flagship Mercedes-Benz four-door sedan with the astonishing power of AMG's 6-litre bi-turbo V-12 engine. The AMG engine produces 603 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque, for 0-100 km/h test track times of about 4.4 seconds, making it one of the world's quickest four-door sedans.

To handle the high speed performance of the AMG bi-turbo engine, the S65 AMG is equipped with high- performance eight-piston calipers and compound brake rotors, and our 5-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT automatic transmission.
