312 kph agains "just" 250...hmmm, I don't mind 
Take a look at the performance figures of AMS:
Bentley / Merc
560 hp / 517 hp
650 Nm / 830 Nm
2480 kg / 2302 kg
312 kph / 250 kph (delimited: over 300 kph)
0-100 kph: 5,5 s / 4,5 s
0-160 kph: 12,3 s / 9,9 s
0-200 kph: 19,2 s / 15,1 s 
Slalom: 59,6 kph / 60,2 kph
70 dB(A) @ 180 kph / 72 dB(A) @ 180 kph
100-0 kph (warm): 41 m / 39 m
17,0 l/100 km / 18,2 l/100 km
...and the S600 looks better IMO...  | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to DeDe For This Useful Post: | | | Me for President

This article claimed the S600 was 1.4 seconds faster to 250km/h than the Bentley. | | | | | Trendsetter

Sure unbiased ......ask the German valet
Seriously though, why would I fight with Merc1 about this -- I would still rather own an A8  ...and I would also choose the S class before the Bentley. | | | | | Moderator

I would go for the S-Class! The electronic limit of 250 km/h isn't really a reason for not buying the S 600!  And the acceleration is even faster - 4 seconds to 200 km/h is a lot... | | | | | Me for President

It says the Merc is 1,4 seconds faster to 200 kph.  | | | | | Moderator

Hmmm... I will scan the AMS, where the S 600 and the Flying Spur were tested separate! | | | | | Moderator
