First real test
3.7 0-60 1/4 mile 12.2 at 113mph
60-0 115 feet
0.2 sec longer on the figure 8 than a Taycan and same avg G.
This a 3 ton limousine that is faster, handles better and outbrakes most gas powered "sport cars". BTW, it also handily outperforms the more expensive S580 AND still provides up to 440 real world range (tested by Edmunds).
THE BEST OR NOTHING INDEED
Kudos Mercedes, you may have created the best production car ever made.
I'm replacing my E 43 with an EQS580 and was worried that it might be a little too floaty-boaty and slower than the E43. What a fool I was, this thing literally rumps any 43/ 53 AMG model.
BTW, I LOVE the non-descript "used bar of soap" exterior look, PERFECT SLEEPER!

The comparison to the Porsche suggests that this car is a product of genius! If it can match the Porsche on the figure 8 then that means it beats the Tesla Plaid.
the combination of that level of performance with unrivaled luxury makes it the best car in the world.

He simply hasnt been able to get his hands on one. The EQS 580 should very handily outdo a S580 in all "dynamic" perspectives. The S580 Is a true limo in all sense of the word. They are in fact very different cars. The EQS has more power, a much more balanced chassis and a lower center of gravity. That leads inevitably to better handling. The trick was adapting all those S class parts to a significantly heavier vehicle particularly the brakes. Dynamically an empty EQS is lake a fully loaded S class with all the weight in the middle of the floorpan. Im sure the chassis engineers had a fun time figuring that one out. Im sure the brakes took a lot of work, to maintain Mercedes braking expectations. A car whose brakes will fade to oblivion after one high speed panic stop will not do.

Cars are like people in many ways - they come in all shapes, sizes, and configurations. Wouldn’t it be boring if all the girls and women looked the same? Not to mention confusing!
So, why don’t you do yourself a huge favor and show a little maturity?

No tests yet but I'm sure they'll happen soon as the release date is upon us for next week. The only catch for range is that AMG-line is standard for the 580 while the 450 has greater choices of more aerodynamic and efficient wheel options which could affect range greatly. That being said, the EQS580 should very easily be able to exceed its EPA range.
