It's obvious that the car isn't a track monster due to it's size and weight. Just like the RS4 is lighter than an M5 it's also handles better and the same goes for the M5 compared with the S65.

Oh so you mean those three. The A8 have been said to be sportier than the S and 7er. Although I doubt that the S8 has is sportier than the S65.

definetly not in acceleration wise.........but handling im sure the S8 is better.

Yikes the big battle for me would be an S65 vs. S8. The S8 is hot. It's gorgeous... Ahhh I dunno which one I would take.

The Artist · 01-02-2006, 09:20 PM

You know im real curious about the S65 handling bit.. cause many reports say and i even felt it my self that the W221 is far more sporty and attached than the W220.. and on top of that the S65 has some new AMG suspension deal going on.. we might be in for a SHOCK as far as handling goes on this baby
And if it handles anything close to the S8 plus that extra power.. i think it will walk away on any track... or road..
But then again it could just be wishfull thinking on my behalf.. so lets wait and see..

Artist, I've already seen reviews of the S500 (W221) that have praised the handling very much. Such sayings like the car feels much smaller than it actually is as well as it being compared to the nimbleness of the new Jaguar XJ; which happens to be the most nimble car in its' class. The S65 surely will be no slouch cornering despite its' girth this time around.

But still waiting on that S63...
