it looks exactly like like the 2002 S-Class with different rims... so what?

 

[ElFenix]

it looks a bit wider than the current s-class even if it is the same width, due to the grill i think. i like it. and 20" wheels are nice. imagine the brakes on that thing. and 495 HP is pretty incredible. direct injection rules. so does forced induction.

And with an engine with that much displacement torque has to be higher then hp... that thing will SCREAM away from a stop.

That thing looks like it's gonna be insane

The current V12 S600 already does a 0-60 in the low 6's. I can only imagine what this bi-turbo version can do :Q

V-12 Bi-Turbo with about 495 hp

That thing is uglier than the new BMW 7-series.

EDIT: That was cruel, perhaps a bit too hasty. I'll have to reserve judgement until I see a side profile shot. The front end does resemble the Lexus ES300, whose styling has been described as a "botched face lift". The C-Class has a far more attractive front end. Perhaps they should borrow styling cues from that.

The picture at the top of the article looks like a photoshop job. But I imagine the final product will look quite similar to that.
