Without the speed limiter the gearing would let you go 149mph! Zoom, zoom! With the limiter we can 'only' go 130mph
. Remember these cars are made for the Autobahns all day high speed runs, so go for it as long as the cops let you.

This car can go 40 MPH safely, according to crash tests. No one has tested either the drivers ability to manuever the car or the cars ability to withstand any accidents above that speed.
That being said. I'm sure that the car can be safely or unsafely driven at speeds up to 130.

Safe if a relative term, and at 130MPH is a straightaway with no traffic in the hands of a competent driver.

130mph, the c270 cdi can top 145mph. There must be limiters on the USA models.

I tought all mercedes were limited at 250km/h (155Mph)? Looks like it's 130Mph in the states?
Have yet to try my own, haven't had it above 133Mph yet.
