That could be true. However, if it is, the same can be said for the E63-S, RS7, etc.
For example, I haven't seen the C63 break 12.2 seconds in the 1/4 mile in the hands of auto journalists. However, I know folks that have routinely accomplished sub-12 second runs in stock cars.
Ultimately, while the numbers are fun to look at for the die-hard enthusiasts, the majority of folks buying these luxury super sedans are using them for daily driving purposes only.
