Check my math and reading skills

Howdy Folks:
I was on the mbusa.com Mircosite for the SLK350.
On the 60\Performance Tab under "Engine" it reads "power well in excess of the magical 100hp/liter goal of modern high performance engines." I figure about 76.57hp/liter. Am I correct, illiterate, or just cannot do math?

Its a little of all of the above!

Actually it must be a major screw up because they used the power figures for the SLK 55 AMG and the displacement of the SLK 350 to come up with those words.

Go figure!

I cannot believe the level of incompetence with this new MBUSA SLK350 website. All the statistics are wrong. Wrong wrong wrong. They can't even get their manual/auto stats right.
