My S600 is limited at 250 Std/Km (155 miles). Seems all MB cars in Europe are factory limited to above max speed.

Top speed, unlimited, on the S550 is somewhere around 170+.
I reached 140 in my 07-S600 and decided to slow down and I also reached 150 in my 05- 600 and it seemed as that was about it give or take a few MPH

People, all this is so not that serious. It's just a car. And a very nice one.

My old office was right by Fuller and Melrose so I got to know the guys at Platinum pretty well. I stop by there every once in a while to say hey. I'll be sure to ask about your Cadi the next time I come in, it looks interesting.

What do you do by the way?
