In the last sequence was anyone else surprised how much the front lifted under acceleration and dived under braking?
It felt like that on the test drive, but didn't know it actually moved around that much looking from outside.

They were testing acceleration on an SC model fox... Fair bit more BHP than the tractor engined cars

Very impressed with that, soft close doors, auto boot, all the toys and very capable offload handling. Loved the hard acceleration, shame we couldn't hear the engine.

Flagship model doesn't have quick reacting leveling suspension then?

It was wallowing around like a boat, can't see why it can't stay more level.

The SC really does lift at the front - there can be some drifting at the front under hard acceleration, but soon sorts itself out.
All i can say is it was a lot of fun hitting the pedal to the floor on the 5.0 L

After having the 'soft closing' on my S600 Mercedes I await the can of worms that will arise from the closure pump ! Always failing on the S classes - common fault and nearly £1k from Mercedes
