Yes,every time I accelerate hard and go over 150mph.
Spoke yesterday with Renntech people about it,they claim some sort of safety feature built in.
Never kept the car at such speeds(160-175mph) longer then maybe 15-30 seconds so in my opinion it's a design flaw.
I'm not going to further investigate,trading the car end of May for
E55k

Good to see high speed test.
The mechanic show me the DAS diagnosis, there's a lot of control,
one of them is the S/C temp, once overheat detect, the S/C cutoff & record in the car's alarm log.
The range of C32AMG S/C temp is ~70 C.
he mentioned 110 C overheat alarm log read while that car's doing 175 mph & suffer power cutoff
In cold seasons, that C32 has even hit 187 mph fine.
