interesting i have never really looked at the non amg cars that way. I just assumed that they could go close to the same speed as the AMG just take a little while longer to get there.
160 is fast, but i know the s55 could go faster revs were in mid 4's so there is at least another 2.5k to go. 300 is possible but tires?

180 km/h = approx 111.8 mph. I do not think US non-AMG cars are limited to this speed. That would be completely arbitrary. I do believe I have exceeded that speed once in my non-AMG car.

My E-Class has a speed limiter that won't 'et you go faster than 135mph. Many new cars sold in the US have a max limit set far below the car's true potential. They do this for several reasons. It's too expensive to put z rated tires on the cars and insurance rates are lowered along with the top speed.
On my E-Class there is no chip I can put in to change it. The only way to get rid of the limiter is to have a tuner reprogram the CPU to the tune of $1000.

There is no 180 kn/h limit made by Mercedes. the Only one is the 155 mph but it's strange that the US have it to because it came from the fact that german highways are speed limit free.
