Just How Fast...?

I've searched this forum but cannot find what the top speed of the ML is. I know it's set by the speed rating of the factory tires, but what is that number? And what is the "hard" limit with higher-rated tires? Just curious...

Per the original German spec sheets, the ML350BE AWD (gas) is good for 235 kph (146 mph), as cohenmd86 reported; the BT (diesel) is listed at 224 kph (139 mph). The ML63 US specs are 155 mph, or 174 mph with Performance Package).
