Default The ultimate daily driver

I submit my pick for the ultimate daily driver:

2010 Mercedes Benz S65 AMG
5.5L SOHC Twin Turbo V12
604hp
738ft/lb
11.975@118mph 1/4mile



Smooth, comfortable, roomy, and ridiculously fast. I also like it better than the Maybach. I think it looks better and is a little more stealth. If I were going more exotic (or 2 door) I would pick one of these three:

Bentley Continental GT


Rolls Royce 200EX


Aston Martin Rapide


I think the maintenance and reliability would be way more on any of those though than the Mercedes.

I sees you silly little S65 and raise you







Brabus SV12 R drops a tuned twelve-cylinder engine producing 750 HP and an astonishing 995 lb-ft of torque between the rails of the 2010 Mercedes S-Class. That'll take the luxury barge from 0-to-epic in just under four seconds.

Seriously though, would it have killed them to squeeze another 5 ft/lbs of torque out of that brute?

What can I say, the Germans know how to build some uber sedans

The CTS-V is a fantastic step in the right direction from us Yanks though

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

LOL, I hate you 2

I was thinking more the along the lines of a larger, comfort oriented vehicle. It's hard to argue with your choice though
