0-200 quoted is 14 sec. while AMG does it in 13.3. Obviously 0-250 will be even worse.

Sorry, but stupid comparison.
First, if straight line performance is all you are looking for, look at other brands.
Second, the MB has more cylinders (8), more capacity (6.2 L), more HP, and the same amount of torque (600 Nm).

If this Alpina with a 6 cylinder 3.0L does 0-200 in only .7 seconds slower, then that is just stunning for the Alpina.
