the 400E and the E420 specs are different.

I know the E420 has a 4.2 liter V8 with 275bhp and a 0-60 time of 7.0 seconds i think.

I just sold a 400E that had 268 hp (base) and a 0-60 time of 7 seconds, so i'm sure with that extra hp it will do a little better then mine.

..."The Mercedes 4.2 liter M119.975 engine displaces 4196cc or 256.1 cubic inches and produces 275 horsepower @5700rpm and 295 lb-ft of torque @3900 rpm. Peak power is only part of the picture. Variable valve timing on the intake cams and long intake runners allow the engine to make 90% of peak torque as low as 1500rpm. Other technical highlights of this 32 valve DOHC V8 include aluminum alloy block and heads for weight reduction, silicon crystal cylinder liners for reduced friction, LH sequential multiport fuel injection, antiknock control, with all of this tied together by a Control Area Network data management system. EPA fuel figures rate the 3660 lb sedan as getting 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway."http://www.mercedesshop.com/400e.htm
