• Internally ventilated composite brake discs measuring 360 x 32mm on the front axle
• AMG Nürburgring sports suspension
• AMG ergonomic sports steering wheel in leather /Alcantara (black)
• 18" AMG multi-piece twin-spoke light-alloy wheels, (front: 7.5 x 18 ET 37 with 225/40R18, rear: 8.5 x 18 ET 30 with 245/35R18 )
• 7-piece carbon trim in the interior
• Maximum speed limitation (Vmax) increased to 280 km/h
In conjunction with the AMG Nürburgring sports suspension the internally ventilated composite brake discs (360mm) on the front axle have improved fade resistance for sporty driving.
The AMG ergonomic sports steering wheel in leather/Alcantara (black), which was developed for the F1 Safety Car, has noticeably improved tactile qualities and ergonomics.
And from a similar source:

Don't know where the 7000rpm Maximum Engine Speed comes from either. If the 030 does 175 @ 6100 rpm that ratio equates to 200mph @ 7000, but since I haven't had mine to 175 I don't know the rpm though I guess it less than redline.

The comparo functions on manufacturers websites are ALWAYS done by someone else (in this specific case it is AIC), this is to prevent the manufacturer from being held liable for the accuracy of the info:
"Mercedes-Benz comparisons come from Automotive Information Center (AIC), a leading provider of objective information on new and used vehicles for both consumers and professionals. AIC collects and maintains the data independently of Mercedes-Benz."
Obviously the wonk that input the data at AIC doesn't understand anything about anything. All he/she did was input the top number on the gauges. Surprised he/she didn't state that Maximum Fuel Capacity as 1 (that is what the gauge has)!

I know one tuner here in the USA who does it in the software.
Brabus does it here in the USA with an electo-mechanical part (looks like a solenoid to me) -- I'd post pictures of one of these Brabus delimit "solenoids", but I am still "on probation" and not allowed to post pics....
