Real or Fake?

Was wondering if this is real or it's fake (some sort of photoshoped)

4 wheels
Are you referring to the KM/H speedo? Didn't they change the speedo for late model 04 E55's and after?

Don't think they have a 400 km/h speedometer.

That's 248.548477 mph.

No way the E55 goes that fast.

E55
Maybe they're just upgrading the simple parts now in preparation for the E63 :v

I hope it's a joke, because if they gear it that high I think it'd be an absolute mistake.

Why gear it so high, in where that only magazine testers would reach? It'd be much smarter to limit to around 160mph and gear it that way too.

Image, 5 sec 0-120 or something probably a lot more realistic? But then again, I bet having such a high top speed results in fantastic gas mileage during super-crusing.

2012 C63 Coupe Iridium Silver
lol the conclusions some of you jump to

I remember the thread about an E65 or E63 - whatever it was it was custom built anyway. Had the SL65 wheels and front spoiler etc. This was the speedo that was from inside the car. There were a series of external and internal photos

It shows the V8 so it's not the '65 and the '63 won't necessarily hit that kind of speed either. Although I did hit the 155 limit the other day effortlessly so I wonder how fast this I can go with this '55 engine.

I would think the Veyron would have a 400kph speedo. Thats about it.
