Mercedes-AMG E63 S VS Porsche Panamera Turbo: Which Is Faster On A Track?

As the new Mercedes-AMG E63 S arrives in Europe, we get to see the first comparison videos. This one brings a Porsche Panamera Turbo into the mix, along with an empty track and a stopwatch.

On paper, the Mercedes-AMG E63 S has the upper hand: it has more power (603hp over the Porsche’s 542), more torque and less weight to shift around. This generation also comes with a trick all-wheel drive system as standard, matching the Panamera in this area as well. But Porsche is known for creating cars that post scarily fast lap times, so you cannot say with certainty that this battle is lost from the get-go.

In anticipation of the new BMW M5, the new Mercedes-AMG E63 S has to prove itself against one of the most multi-talented vehicles on the planet. Which one of these four-door monsters is faster around the track? Auto Express investigates on the latest video linked below.
