@Kay: Well the 600 HP S-Class is an S65 AMG. This 760li is to rival the Mercedes S600 which comes with about 500 hp, which also comes from a twin turbo V12.

definitely jon, and even in a straight line i think this 760i might be faster than the current generation v12 from the s class since this is a newer model comparing against an older model…im sure mercedes in the next generation s class will come up with a one more powerful but for the moment i think this v12 from bmw might be the more powerful even in a straight line!!!

agreed housejunkie. Even if the benz does beat the beem in a straight line you KNOW the 760 will be preferred in the twisties.

Who cares, the Mercedes Benz bi-turbo V12 600 will kill this ride.

I actually think the V12 will be 6 litres. The Rolls Royce 6.6 litre engine is probably because past Rolls Royces had engines of similar displacement, so BMW were trying to keep with tradition.

No… disregard battery theory. There’s too many d-connectors, it has to be serial telemetry.

Interesting view of the test equipment in the 7′s trunk. I guess they’re collecting data from all kinds of sensor and linking them together at what looks to be a patch panel on the left side, on top — that’s judging from the array layout of the device.

Is there any chance that the device is actually an array of small batteries?
