I think your numbers are off. The new BMW M5 is electronically limited to 155 mph so you don’t have bone heads who think they’re Michael Schumacher trying to do 180 mph down the Autobahn. The Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG is also limited to 155 mph for the same reason. And according to Wikipedia, the E63 AMG can achieve 200 mph unrestricted. Manufactures tend not to advertise absolute top speed because they limit it electronically anyway. If BMW says the M5 can do 0-60 in 4 seconds and Mercedes-Benz says the E63 can do 200 mph but 0-60 time is 5 seconds. 0-60 time is something everyone can legally experience. Absolute top speed is something only a few corporate test drivers and engineers will ever experience.
