When multiple publications test the same Mercedes-Benz S450 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.
