0-60mph in 5,4 sec for the S65 sounds very strange to me. Mercedes own spec of the S65 is 0-62mph (1-100km/h) in 4.4sec and when tested by swedish AMS the S65 did 0-100km/h in 4.28sec and in 4.9sec with five persons in the car.

Edit: I see now that it was tested in the wet. Still can't believe that they chose the Aplina over the S65. Kinda pointless to test a 612bhp beast in the wet but I guess it's raining almost all the time in England
