The most powerful S-Class in the history of the model just debuted with an insane 791 horse and pavement warping 1,055 lb-ft of twist. All of this mayhem comes by way of a 4.0L V8 with an electric motor. The flagship sedan will hurtle to 60 mph in a blistering 3.2 seconds and top out at 180 mph. Full EV mode goes all the way to 87 mph, and 20 miles of range on a full charge means short trips without the use of gas. The big beast can also manage both rough roads and sharp apexes thanks to its AMG Ride Control+ suspension and AMG Active Ride Control stabilization. And just so you don’t get mistaken for the run-of-the-mill S-Class, the AMG version gets a special jet-wing design for the front fascia, huge 21″ AMG forged black wheels, and a unique AMG-specific grille. Inside, you’ll find AMG-trimmed upholstery, a special AMG Performance steering wheel, and an expansive MBUX infotainment screen and gauge cluster. But who cares about all that since you’ll be to busy trying not to get a speeding ticket.
