You have to admit, we've shown you lots of Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG W222 reviews in the last month but we've never shown you one in German.
No, we're not (very good) German speakers either, but the following video caught our attention for two reasons:
The first reason is that it's subtitled in English, so it's actually possible to understand everything that the man at the wheel is saying about the car instead of just waiting for him to shup up so you can hear that sweet M157 engine note.
The second reason is that it's a video review made by Germans, so by default you're bound to learn about 1473 times more details about the car tested than from a humorous British review.
As you know, the new Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG W222 is powered by the latest evolution of the M157 engine, which is a 5.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 that now delivers no less than 585 hp (577 bhp) and 900 Nm (664 lb ft) of torque.
Paired with a seven speed automatic transmission that features a multi-clutch plate instead of a torque converter, the 4Matic all-wheel drive version presented in the following video can hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in a neck-breaking four seconds.
