I think the OP only made a observation that the Ambulance seemed to struggle on acceleration,thats all. I used to drive once upon a time a F350 with a pantec and 351 V8 auto under the hood as a sales rep and it struggled maxing out at about 140kph .
I think he has made a valid observation . I would have thought good acceleration and handling would be required for these Ambo's. If I had to navigate the city on a emergency call ,breach red lights ,etc I would want some grunt to get me across the intersection as quickly as possible in case some clown cleaned me up . It sounds like the Mercedes may be the answer.
