Brabus S V12 BiTurbo (0-62 in 4.0s)
German supertuner Brabus has transformed the Mercedes S 600 into what it modestly calls "the world's fastest and most powerful luxury sedan." It doesn't sound like exaggeration, either - the Brabus V12 S Biturbo puts out a stunning 730 hp and a peak torque of 974 foot-pounds through a hard-working 5-speed automatic transmission.
The standard 5.5-liter engine is stroked and bored to 6.3-liters, and gets a full porting treatment, special camshafts and bigger turbochargers. All that engine work pays off with a 0-62 mph time of 4.0 seconds. Pretty damned impressive for a two-ton sedan! Top speed is restricted to a modest 211 mph.
21-inch wheels, monster brakes with 12-piston calipers up front, 6-piston in the rear, an aero body kit, and an uprated suspension complete the picture for the uber-sedan.

Transmission AMG-enhanced driver-adaptive electronic 5-speed automatic. Driver-adaptive programming adjusts shift points to the driver's current driving style. Touch Shift allows driver to manually downshift and allow upshifts by nudging the shift lever left or right from the Drive position. Shift into Optimum Gear programming allows one-touch selection of the best gear for maximum acceleration or engine braking by holding the shift lever to the left of Drive for one second. Driver-selectable Comfort mode starts vehicle moving in 2nd gear or a second Reverse gear, and upshifts at lower rpm, to help improve control on slippery surfaces.

Once again I don't care what you believe, would you like a picture of me with my d*** in the grille of the car holding the documents for the car?
All the AMGs use 5 speeds.

Post up the window sticker.
2005 also had 5-speeds. Was your car custom made for you?
