Mercedes doesn't limit it's cars to 155 mph because of the components. It's because of the Gentlemans Agreement.

This is why land speed records use specially forged metal wheels since you don't need fuel economy or a smooth drive. The speed at which the wheel has to turn is one of the biggest limiters for speed on cars.

well... or may be not... may be it is based on the M275 Mercedes engine for the 600 range which is 5.5L indeed, not on the M275AMG engine for the 65AMG range of models which has slightly modified stroke 93 instead 87 mm and increased to 6.0L displacement...

[@BenzinioB]

***** may be you are not exactly right... I think the 5.5 V12 engine was build in Maybach only (this is the M285 engine) In SL 600 was used M275 engine - 6.0L V12 and the 5.4L V8... and actually the 5.5V12 is in production from later year 2005 when the 6.0 V12 is from 2003... but it is quite complicated really :)

It is also stupid to beleive that only a torque rating is what determines performance. Your power band and the torque multiplcation of your gearing are not whimiscal and emphemeral wisps of fluff. And yes, I do own an automobile that made well over 500 lb/ft of torque from the factory.

You don't need (a lot of) torque on a car, only power. Torque is useful with heavy vehicles such as big trucks or locomotives.

How weak the cars have been back then. ;) For me the Brabus philosophy was as close to Jeremies' soul and passion, a car could possibly get.

[@ZeroStriker426]

I don't understand how Merc AMG cars always tend to have high amounts of torque? Why? It it because of their heavy overall weight? If so, why do all high-power Mercs weight more than 1.6 tons? Especially this R230 SL, it weighs around 2 whole tons. Crazy. I do like what AMG did with the SLS Black. They reduced the torque while adding more horsepower. One of the reasons why it has more grip coming around corners.

[@Lucky8s]

Cause it's turbocharged.

[@ZeroStriker426]

WuWei Xu you can have a turbocharged engine and still have a moderate amount of torque, like for instance, a Mazda RX-7 or a BMW M4. The engines of those cars are turbocharged but have very balanced power and torque figures. I just don't understand why AMG tends to make the engines they put on Mercs to have ludicrous amounts of torque. Making a street-legal road car with 1000ft.lb or 811ft.lb of torque is just ridiculous. There is no street-legal car on Earth that can handle that amount of power.

[@Lucky8s]

ZeroStriker426 Bugatti?

[@ZeroStriker426]

WuWei Xu Which Bugatti? If you're talking about the Veyron, I ruled that out on my statement because it's a special case. Both the Veyron and the Brabus SL can pump out around 1000ft.lb of torque yes, but there's a very good reason why the Veyron costs more than 1M Euros and the Brabus SL doesn't cost more than 500k Euros.
