The BMW760LI is the biggest, most powerful and most expensive car BMW has. It has a 6 liter V12 engine with twin turbo that will turn 535 horsepower that can make the world move backward. It is said from 0-60mph it will beat a Porsche 911 and with the speed limiter of it could hit up to 188mph (302km/h). There is a digital display of the speedometer on the windscreen to show you how fast you are moving.
Internationally testers have commended the 760LI on its comfort even on high speed travel. It is said to be quiet with comfortable seats that massage your back. It has advance suspension system that will give you different driving mode for whichever drive mode you desire. Just imagine yourself on a business trip and you felt someone was following you. Then you turn your suspension to sport mode and those behind won’t even know what just happened in front of them. Perhaps with all the technology you won’t feel terrified. It is said the throttle response is sharper. But for an expensive fast car what counts most especially in Nigeria is comfort. Earlier on I mention the massaging seats to keep you relaxed. There are night vision cameras. If you had to a turn at a junction there are cameras to help you see blind spot. Behind the driver seat there is a lot of space which makes it commodious. There are also many buttons available to the owner seat to operate a lot of functions for comfort. There also DVDs perhaps optional that keep you inform with news updates perhaps the CNN. Even though the 760LI has sporting capabilities it turns out that it’s about dignified drive and not side drift and tyres burning.
With the Mercedes S63 and its 6.2 liter naturally aspirated engine. It generates up to 518 horsepower and is almost a second slower than the 760LI. The 760LI has the added advantage of the twin turbo which gives it extra grunt. The S63 is said to offer equal comfort as the 760Li but really it tends to have a split personality between the sport ride and comfort. It is not like the 760Li that simply powerful fast and luxurious. Also it said to have a tank like feel around it.
So what would be our choice? For the sake of Mercedes pedigree record the S63 may just prove to be a better ride since it has always been better in soaking road lumps and patches. It is said to still have its sense of occasion. BMW has always been good for on track of late and with good driving it could get you on time for that million naira meeting. This makes it a better drive of the two.
