> If I had to be in a wreck, it would be in an S class. Hands down I do wonder why rally and track cars have roll cages with mandatory helmets, windows made of plastic and prominent switches for cutting the electrical systems and fuel. This is in the lower racing classes that have otherwise standard road going cars. Rally cars go on dangerous tracks, track cars go fast on safety standards approved tracks. Road cars combine the ability to achieve dangerous speeds and they go on roads as dangerous as the rally cars. At 155 miles an hour you are far from guaranteed to be safe in an S class. I would go for the roll cage, 4 point harness, Hans device, helmet and fireproof suit if I was to think about it sensibly when speeding down the motorway. That way of thinking aside, Mercedes are the true pioneers of safety even if the liked of Volvo claim more credit. Fantastic as these innovations are, we need to restrict vehicles to their safety ratings. This then means that the safer cars are quicker, the S Class becomes quickest on the road, Tesla aside...
