For most gearheads, being able to combine plush luxury with face-ripping performance is the ultimate combination. The luxury aspect means you can cruise around town and the highways in perfect comfort and serenity, while the performance aspect means you can get your pulse to quicken when you want to feel alive on a twisty back road or racetrack. The trouble is, these elements tend to juxtapose each other, with one getting muddied in favor of the other. Mercedes-Benz has always done a stellar job with its fastest S-Class models, though.
