I rented a W222 S500 (S550 to the Yanks) for a week and the performance was interesting. It was the prefacelift with the larger V8 biturbo (no hot V or reverse induction flow outside-to-inside) and RWD only.
Felt like a locomotive. The way it constantly gathered speed was addictive. A great highway therapy was to stamp your foot for five seconds and watch the armada of 1.2 litre yoghurt pots around you disappear in the mirror. Sounded brawny too.
Otherwise I felt like a chauffeur without a client. The back seats are where it's at in these barges.
