It's crazy how planted S8 is in corner compared to those two.

The A8 has extra turn in sharpness with its rear wheel steering and also anti roll control with a chassis that leans inwards like the Mercedes S Coupe. It’s very impressive for a large saloon

The BMW is quite disappointing. Since the primal function of the V12 is the comfort it should be badged 760iL and not M760iL.

It's amazing that despite the age and about to be replaced, the W222 S63 still managed to hold its own quite well against the other two newer rivals.

The S8 appeals to me. Be it simply by its' virtue of being a luxury sedan segment SWB automobile.

Hah! Ofcourse the Benz won.
They can’t touch the king, it can only be dethroned by succession.

Opposite world. BMW is more luxurious and comfortable as Mercedes. And Mercedes is more dynamic and fun to drive as BMW.
But I don't understand these two guys. They say the BMW is more sporty to drive than the Audi. And Audi is 2,5s quicker on Race track as BMW.

Put a non AMG S in there and it would be the most comfortable to.

like I said you don’t dethrone the S it gets replaced by succession.

Maybe. Mercedes won this comparison test due to performance on the Race track. If they would put non AMG S then it would be tied between Mercedes und BMW.

There is no sub-AMG for S Class like there is E53/GLE53

I wonder if the S53 will be launched in the W223. Currently the same engine that is used in the 53 models is used in the W222 S500 model, but maybe AMG will add their magic to the W223 and replace the S500 with the S53.

I hope they don't do that. A 6-cylinder AMG branded S_Class model would be a huge letdown IMO. The current S500 setup is better. An AMG S_Class has to have kick-ass power to simply move it and the 435hp S-Class is NOT enough to be a AMG model.
