It most certainly do not. The S8 is one of the most admirable cars around but the design is still very close to this:

LOL ....well I knew my opinion would be controversial

+1.

Not a big fan of raceboy bumpers on limousines.

Always on this forum, but mark my words...Mark them... The BMW gang will never hear the end of it from me if the first tests of the F01/02 fail to prove without a reasonable doubt that it indeed makes the W221 look like DOS or worse.

Don't like that pic of the faclifted S8, the rims look too big, car looks too small and the side skirts stick out to far But I think it's just that pic

P.s Also beats the current 7-er on looks aswell

I am sorry but there is something about this car that drives me crazy. I think Merc hit a home run with this design.

If the F01 can manage to dethrone this car... The F01 will be in my garage in my future...

Come on BMW

^they will never dethrone it offically..the S class is to strong..
but on a personal level it might win over some souls..

Guys this is becomming a 7er vs S Klasses thread...can we get back on topic.

Beats current 7-er ???

That S8 looks like enlarged 2000 A6. Have you ever seen these two cars in person on street, BMW looks so much richer and refined.

lol, are you mad? BMW is the all time king of engine works. The S65 is a freaking old bi-turbo V12........what do you honestly think????

But yeah, let's get back on topic please. No more S class here...Don't want to talk about hat car at all!
