In the March issue of Car & Driver, acceleration results for some vehicles were simply stunning. A twin-turbocharged Lamborghini Gallardo rocketed to 60 miles per hour in less than three seconds. The 0-60 results for three luxury sedans were around or under five seconds. The least expensive Mercedes-Benz S-Class is now a hybrid, the S400. By the sounds of its accelerative force, there's no doubt greener-thinking S-Class buyers will be satisfied with their vehicle's performance.
