Porsche Panamera vs BMW 760Li, Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG - Comparo and Drift Shots

Automobile Magazine's comparison test of the Porsche Panamera versus Mercedes S63 AMG and BMW 760Li. We pick a winner, get a little sideways, and throw a Starbucks cup on the ground. (And of COURSE pick it up later.) Read the full story in our February 2010 issue.

Excellent comparison.... good detail on the specs and info about each car, but I love how this guy sorts out the cars in his own words. Bravo!

Would love to see more videos like this one...

Great Video, really like this one, the host was really good... Sometimes I watch these videos and I feel like I am falling asleep the second they start talking about the car...

But this guy did a really good job, I actually wanted to hear what he was going to say about the car.. so well done.

Nice choice for a battle, these are indeed some nice cars.. Keep up the Great work on the videos..

@Darknessfailure what does the weight of a car have to do with the amount of power the engine produces? I never said the car was slow, i just said the there is more power to be had form a 6.0 v12 then just 535 HP. And it's more like 5200 Pounds BTW.

@automobile I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with your review. I like the way your comments made sense. The points you made seemed to be well thought out, I understand what you mean by the AMG engine providing a lusty engine note while at the same time, you did no diminish the other two cars.

The Porsche and BMW have wonderful engines too which you pointed out. Just really impressed over-all.

Does anyone know the name of the first song?

[SpazzyWombat]

Shouldn't they compare S65 or S600 up to the 760li?

[veryusualgamr]

wait how come you use an AMG, 760 LI and a normal class panamera what happened to the turbo

you guys need to re-do this test with the 2011 alpina b7

[igorkadic]

why dint y take bmw 760i??? also s65 amg???

[choyayahyah]

@reevsaj i think BMW should make a shorter weelbase 760 with all wheel drive & even an alpina version idk why they only make it in the 750 version but either way i agree i would go for the bimmer

[ha]

so much power in all them so hard to decide!

[gc]

@JxTPB actually i drive '08 550i with sport package ...

[norcalnorway]

that is some amazing active aerodynamics on the Panamera...

[lamboman]

why do they choose the s63 amg and not the s65 amg

[laxbro]

@lacustagingasa and the word 911 some where in the model description

[Tbland]

@AlumarsX Have you driven an XJ? They really lack the sense of occasion the S has, and the interior just isn't a special place to be.

[scoots]

@Cipirano Thats practically the same a the S63 AMG only a bit more litres I really don't think it would make much difference.

[DoctorPetrol]

Might be a bad comparison, but the review on itself is great!

@rodjase This video said the 760li and Porsche were quicker than the s63. Looking at the website, it says a 4.4 for the s63, so I don't know. I was following the video here. That porsche thought, wow what a beast, and now with the turbo s coming, new fastest production sedan out there!
