Anyone been in MB S600 ?

While I was driving around today, I saw two Mercedes-Benz S600. One looked about '99 and was a blue sedan and the other looked about '96 and black coupe. I was pretty wow'ed when I saw "V12" on the trunk lid and a front fender. I looked online and looks like they are 6.0liter V arranged 12 cylinder engines. Quite amazing. I've never seen anything with more cylinder than eight with an exception of engines like big Detroit Diesel and similar.

Anyone driven or rode in a Mercedes S600? What was it like?

I've never driven or rode in one but i've read a lot of articles about it. It seems (gathering the data) this baby can go 0-60mph in 5 - 5.5 seconds. Not bad for an 800 pound gorilla (so to speak).

BMW also makes a V12. It's 5.4L in its current form (although it says 750iL). There will be an E65 760Li arriving next year. Audi recently showcased their new W12 that will appear in an A8 variant.

Yes, I have ridden in a BMW 750iL before. It was pretty cool driving down the interstate at 90mph at only like 2,000rpm.
