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!

Is this for the EQS580? Or the EQS53?

Is there an article or video you can link?

The 580. The AMG version is not even in production yet!

Love the Headline, its kind of a "No sh%t Sherlock" kind of thing" ​​​​​​​

have to say that is awesome, and consistent with my test drive. Thanks for sharing.

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.

Great stats, it performed well after my test drive to which was very surprising and looks like this test only backs that up, the car is very impressive, now just wanna get my hands on a 450+ to test.

My guess is it will handle a little better but be a little slower overall. If I lived in an area that didn't get snow 4mths out of the year I would have zero qualms buying a 450. I did however want a car at least as fast as my E43. The 580 leaves the E43 in the dust, and handily beats the S580 too. In effect it made the S580 virtually obsolete overnight. Unless you must have a gas car or need a limousine there is zero reasons for the S580 now.
Im virtually certain that the only test drive I will get is when I actually drive out of the dealer with the one I ordered
Can't wait!

Why isn't this dude compare the EQS580 to the S500? He should see significant differences with the 580 coming out on top.

or unless you have a need to own a good-looking, stately car, compared to a nondescript cramped bar of soap.

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.

jbattan - everyone’s entitled to an opinion, but, you know what? Your smart-a - - comments are not going to change a single car-buyer’s mind.

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?

c4004matic

Good to have options! Do it quick since the present S car is the last one that will look like that.

My understanding the Edmunds test was for the 450+...not the 580? Has anyone seen real-world miles for the 580? I'm assuming they must be pretty close as the EPA ratings only differ by 10 miles.

js_cls

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.

c4004matic

You are correct. Dont expect the 580 to differ much, unless you are pining it the main difference in consumption is 300 additional pounds. Most of the time the 580 runs on the rear motor the front is mostly for additional thrust or traction.
In addition, two motors offer a lot more regen!
