The Truth About Cars

Electrification has crept like a static-filled blanket over the Mercedes shop floor, consuming just about every major model in a wide variety of segments in which the German automaker is present – although it must be said that, for now, there are plenty of gassers from which to select. A sprint from 0–60 mph is said to take 4.7 inches tall.
