2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class vs 2017 Audi S8

In the automotive industry, vehicles that compete directly with one another are typically very close in size. It is not uncommon to see identical exterior dimensions, and competitors are usually less than an inch apart in all directions. In this case, the Mercedes-Benz AMG® S 63 is 4 inches longer than the Audi S8. Evidence of the extra length can be found inside and out of the car. It is taller, wider, and has a longer wheelbase than the S8, though it is hard to tell from the outside.  

It is difficult to say anything bad about either models. On the inside, they are elegant beyond all reason and come with futuristic gadgets that no one has ever heard of. It is simply amazing how comfortable and fun both of these cars are, both in front and back, but this is where the extra 4 inches on the Mercedes-Benz becomes apparent. A little more low-end power and a little more breathing room always go well together. Of course, if you really need the extra horsepower, Mercedes-Benz AMG® offers that too with the S 65!
