If it's a post '11 S63 then it's twin turbo, but not as powerful as a S65.

It is a '13 S63 AMG upon further investigation. I already have a 996 Turbo S, though. The search continues.

I've been on the lookout all week and haven't seen anything relevant at all. Not even sn MR2 or army styled Land Rover. I've even gone out of my way to swing passed where I know someone with a twin turboed 300zx lives but It hasn't been there all week. Looking like another submission free week

Did you see it in Wyoming? If so, this is an M43 Howitzer Motor Carriage.
I was thinking of visiting Kremlin for a GAZ Tigr nearby, or at least an OMON van for my #3, but I found out that I don't need to go that far. There's something not far from my university.
T-34-85.
And #2 here, Megane RS.

@Gotbeefboy564 Cars in dealerships (customer cars excluded) are never allowed in these scavenger hunt. You've been told this at least 3 times now.

I don't think I'm going anywhere tomorrow and I'm bored so I'll post these now.
1. One turbine is good, but two are better! Any car twin-turbocharged from the factory.
2. RennSport. Any RS car (having "RS" in its name).
3. Locked 'n loaded! Military vehicle. Army jeeps, trucks, or vehicles of paramilitary police forces (SWAT, riot police, etc) will count. Vehicles owned by civilians count, too, but only exact same models as used by the military.
4. The real racing layout. Mid-engine car. Extra point if it costs $50k or more.
Is that a Boxster or a 911?
5. Power of the Silver Arrow. Most powerful Mercedes, measured by HP. Factory power counts.
Bonus car: Porsche Panamera.

Okay, make way for the sketchiest post in scavenger hunt history. This is going to take a bit of interpretation.
1. One turbine is good, but two are better! Any car twin-turbocharged from the factory.
Bentley Continental GT Speed (with photobombing Fiat 500)
2. RennSport. Any RS car (having "RS" in its name).
Nope, didn't get one.
3. Locked 'n loaded! Military vehicle. Army jeeps, trucks, or vehicles of paramilitary police forces (SWAT, riot police, etc) will count. Vehicles owned by civilians count, too, but only exact same models as used by the military.
I saw this motorcycle and sidecar in Amsterdam, I'm almost 100% sure it was ex-military. I think the sidecar had a red star on the front, too. Does this count?
4. The real racing layout. Mid-engine car. Extra point if it costs $50k or more.
Lamborghini Countach. I think that costs more than 50k, yes?
5. Power of the Silver Arrow. Most powerful Mercedes, measured by HP. Factory power counts.
Nope, didn't even see an AMG.
Bonus car: Porsche Panamera.
IIRC, we can post up to three of these, right? If so:
Yes, that's a Phantom Coupe.
Another terrible photo, but it's still a Panamera.

No, sorry.
I take it a military aircraft is stretching the term "vehicle."
Well technically a vehicle is any mode of transport, but this is a car spotting scavenger hunt so I'd have to say an aircraft wouldn't count.

2. RennSport. Any RS car (having "RS" in its name).
Okay, uh, does a Vauxhall CoRSa count? I'm fine if it doesn't. Sorry for the awful photos, I was tired and smelly and just wanted to get home.
I'm gonna have to say no to this one.

#1. Twin-turbocharged:
BMW Alpina B7 E38 Biturbo
#2. Megane RS
#3. Military vehicle - T-34-85
#4 - Mid-engine car: MR-2
#5 - nothing, didn't plan to win this anyway.
Bonus - daym, I usually see Panameras at least once a week, but this time was no luck.
If it was a real Soviet M-72, this would count for sure. But the CJ750 seems to be sold as a civilian bike... hmmm...
No, wait, they were used by the Chinese military as well, and Wiki says that many have been restored from old military stock. OK, counts.

I think it's a Chinese bike, ChangJiang CJ750, a replica of the Soviet army bike, Ural M-72. There are Chinese symbols on the front, right?3. Locked 'n loaded! Military vehicle.

So can anyone confirm if this is a Boxster or 911? I don't want to give myself/lose an unneeded point if possible.
