How can you tell it's a 996?

Shape of the air intake for one....

Shut line also a big give away

How can you tell it's a 996?

The lights, rear wing and mostly the alloys give it away.

Ah I see, so is the 996 not in anywhere near the same league as the 997 or is it still damn fast?

The 996 Turbo is still damn fast, only a second or so slower to 100 I believe.

If you ever need someone to drive her around a bit and generally look after her, then please feel free to email me.

here's one for you chaps. I was on the motorway yesterday and saw a standard 5 series with a 545i badge on it. Surely this is fake?

Why would it be fake? The 545i was the flag-ship non-M version of the 5-Series before the 550i came along last year.

holy christ I didn't know they did a 550i, 0-60 in 5.2 seconds that's incredible!

I was getting confused with the deisel models.

That's my blue e60 in the background, the wheels on the s600 put mine to shame Absolute beast. And the car was sitting turned off and there was still smoke spitting out of the exhausts after 3 or 4 minutes.
Owned by a friend of my dads', not many AMG versions of the S-class about and certainly the first one I've seen anyway. The guy claims this car is faster than his AM Vanquish

 

[Tommy B]

To be fair AMs aren't the quickest in their class.

 

[5tephen]

To be fair AMs aren't the quickest in their class.

But it would still be half the weight of the boat in the above pic, what with all the sat nav, seating goodies, electronics and usual S-class gunk thrown in

 

[Muffin`]

S-Class gunk?

that gunks gonna be in every new car in 3-4 years

 

[skaylesh]

Gallardo Superleggera?

Indeed it was. IIRC same engine as you'll find in an E39 540i (4.4i V8) but more sensibly badged as 545i n the E60. Also a 745i as well.

It's an S600, not an AMG version, there are only two which are the 63 and the 65.

 

[Gonzo0]

Gallardo Superleggera?

SNIP

Ye it is, i bet it sounded awesome

 

[Bennah]

I bet it did sound very sweet

Not sure what that Merc is. You can get the S65 AMG debadged, similiar to the above, also its looks like a S600. Most probs will be a S600 though.

Snapped this while I was in Taipei this summer

Why would you want to debadge a S65 AMG
