Default Car and Driver surprise speed: r8 vs. e63 wagon

The E63 benz wagon takes out the R8, the infiniti embarrass the Mustang Bullitt! My favorite was the Camry ruining the '08 WRX! Senior citizens everywhere rejoice!

The video showing the r8 being humiliated is pretty good!

The AMG is really a modern day muscle car!

I'm not surprised. The occupant of a top of the line 7 series will wave as there 4500lb tank pulls on an R8 right around 100mph.

BMW and Merc are my fav two luxury makers. Mainly b/c they do stupid sh!t like this. Any variant of there cars you can get in space shuttle form.

R8/E63: 0-60 in 4.0 and 1/4 mile in 12.5. WOW that is freaking fast.

However I don't think a R8 can do 4.0 to 60. IIRC - The R8 was slower than a 911S and I know the 911S isn't getting to 60 in 4.0 secs.
