Not necessarily. A person being chauffeured around doesn't much care about handling and acceleration. As long as they arrive safely, they're content. The S-class has been praised for its handling, and as Sal mentioned, it's very fast to boot.
I met a man who owns a Maybach 57. It's typically regarded as a car for someone with a driver, but he swears that he loves driving it and would never give want to have a driver. And why would he? The car is 3 tons, but it has an auto-leveling suspension and 600 horsepower from a turbocharged V12.
