C&D S560 Review

Just a quick review in Car & driver but I was impressed that the S560 clocked in at 4.2 seconds to 60. Quite a bit quicker than advertised.

I remember when a 427 Shelby Cobra did 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. Didn't think any street car could ever be quicker.

It is incredible how fast and powerful cars are these days without sacrificing any luxury and comforts.
Our "4500 lbs." sedan goes from 0-60 in 3 seconds and quicker with a simple tune...

You're right about that!

I had a 1978 930 Turbo. Listed 0 to 60 time was 4.9 seconds. I remember driving it away from the dealership and being very careful not to jump on it. There was all this hype about the car accelerating like a rocket, so I took it out on Pershing Dr., behind the runways at LAX, late at night. I came to a full stop and then hit it. No big deal. I thought it was going to make my eyeballs recede into my skull, but as I remember it, it just wasn’t all that great. I guess it was the fact that it was very quick, without any drama. Do the same thing in a late 60’s 427 Corvette and there was LOTS of drama!

Wolfman, thanks for posting this. I'm looking at the '18 S 560, so this is very timely for me

Yes, 0-60 in 4.2 seconds for this car is incredible
