C&D review of MB S600

Post by Mr Kleen »

the Mercedes-Benz S600 has a twin turbo, air to water intercooled, 32 valve, 5.5 liter V12 that puts out 510 Hp and 612 lb-ft. it can do 0-60 in 4.2 and it costs $143,675.
but the best part of the article was this:
Here's something else that'll amuse and panic your passengers: Set the distronic Plus proximity cruise control for 120 mph while following, say, a dawdling Ford F-150, then lift your foot completely off the gas. Later, when you pull out to pass, the S600 will automatically proceed to a buck-twenty all on it's own, as if possessed by the ghost of Rene Dreyfus, and no red lights or Klaxons or legal warnings will so much as suggest themselves.
I LOL'd.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.
