BMW 760Li vs Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG
Captain Slow ,James makes a rare appearance on the track as he compares two absurdly powerful limos, the BMW 760i and Mercedes S63 AMG, and gets into a strange card game with The Stig.
BMW 760Li
760Li are powered by a completely new 6.0-litre V12 all-aluminum engine with Twin-Turbo Technology, High Precision Injection with fuel injected directly into the combustion chambers, and to BMW’s infinite double-VANOS camshaft adjustment as well as the eight-speed automatic transmission featured for the first time in a BMW. The V12 engine outputs 544 horsepower at 5,000 rpm, with maximum torque of 533 lb-ft at 1,500. The wheelbase has been extended by 5.5 inch providing more passenger space and comfort. As expected, the BMW 760 runs from 0-60 mph in just 4.6 seconds and it offers improved fuel consumption over the previous model by 4.5 per cent.
Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG
The S63 AMG and its stronger counterpart the Mercedes S65 AMG, are designed to compete with vehicles such as the Jaguar XFR sedan, Cadillac CTS-V, BMW M5, and Lamborghini Estoque. The 6.3 liter V8 engine produces 518 hp (386 kW), and 456 lb·ft (618 N·m) of torque, which will propel the S63 from 0-60mph in 4 seconds even, and can go through a quarter mile in 11.56 second, two tenths of a second faster than the E63 to an electronically limited top speed of 186 mph. The S63 also has some of the best handling in its class, making it able to run on some of the tightest tracks in the world.

Horsepower:518 hp (386 kW)
