Lamborghini :
The S55 AMG produces 493 bhp @ 6100 rpm
while, the S600 produces 493 bhp @ 5000 rpm

On Top of that the S600 is a V12 while the S55 is a V8.

I don't exactly know what all that means but I'm pretty sure that the low rpm figures means that all of the power (493 bhp) is delivered at 5000 rpm in the S600 while in the S55 its delivered at 6100 rpm which would therefore make the S600 marginally quicker, if I'm correct. In the end I don't know anything about car mechanics so if someone who knows about this confirm it then it would be great.
