Thank you!

Impressive to see both the ML63 and the E63 being fastest in their classes. Winning 50% of the classes is an impressive result. Mercedes Power!!

who cares about 0-100KM-0. i want to do 0-100MPH-0.
see how fast they can do that. F40 did it in like 13sec. wounder what the new 911 turbo could do it in.

0-100km/h-0-test is worthless with such a powerful cars, 0-120mph-0 would mean something, then the supercars would shine, like carrera gt.

Only thing this test shows, that if you are driving slowish speeds, it all comes down to driver, when he brakes and when he accelerates, differences between cars are insigficant. Just think a boat of a car S600 is only second slower than carrera gt. Also i would have liked to see cornering speeds and G-forces, it is after all real world motoring..

I think it was to get some sort of real-world perspective. People don't drive at 100mph. Or maybe they just wanted to get it done quicker. Or insurance hindrances?

In any case, 0-100km/h figures are widely-recognised and oft-quoted figures. It is rare for 0-100mph figures to be bandied around.
