A while back CCCA rounded up a Packard 12, Lincoln KB, Cadillac V16, and Rolls PIII. The fastest acceleration to 50 mph was, surprisingly, from the PIII Rolls-Royce.

I've driven the PIII and you would never think that to be the case, but then I was driving it according to the instruction manual. I couldn't hear the motor except for crossing bridges when I could hear the echo.
