EV12 competition

I like the way it looks. I'd luv to pull up to the club in this baby:) These cars were originally armor plated and made for the drug kingpins in Florida U.S. back in the 1980's. They also made the powerful offshore speed boats to out run the U.S. Coast Guard boats. And that is actually how the sport of offshore power boat racing began. It's the same way that U.S. stock car racing got started by guys building cars to outrun the sheriff (police) cars to sell illegal (moonshine) liquor.

Is there a different edition of the EV12? Possibly called the "one of ten"? I did a search and found a press release that states...
With a rated power output of 800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW and a peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft) this engine catapults the four-door car from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of over 370 km/h (230 mph). The exclusively appointed BRABUS E V12 is built in a limited > one of ten
edition and starts at 498,000 Euros MSRP.
and...
Following the tradition of the first three BRABUS E V12 sedans the 2010 edition once again delivers driving performance normally reserved for only a very few select super sports cars. The sedan, which weighs in at 1,980 kilograms (4,365 lbs), sprints from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.7 seconds. After just 9.9 seconds the four-door car reaches a speed of 200 km/h (124 mph). The 300-km/h (186-mph) mark is reached after just 23.9 seconds. Top speed is more than 370 km/h (230 mph) but is limited electronically for reasons of tire safety to 350 km/h (217 mph).
I was wondering which is correct. Or if the "one of ten" version should have it's own page.

many cars top 130mph.. nearly every basic butter and bread family sedan tops 130mph... at least in Germany were only Audi BMW and Mercedes have a limiter normaly set to 155mph...
Just a example a boring 2004 VW Passat 2.0l TDi basic version with 134hp reach a topspeed of ~131mph... sometimes it is amazing to drive in Germany the Autobahn with light traffic on a sunday often everyone is cruising with 125mph around and you drive 150mph and pass the other more or less slowly... in this szenario this car is the true Godzilla.... and for exactly this szenario Brabus build their Supersportcar killing sedans..

Smoke a Ferrari after 130mph, how many cars go that fast anywhere, and thats why 0-100 means so much.

Who cares about top speeds most cars easily do way over 200km as all that horsepower and so many cars with half the hp do a faster 0-60 and could probably corner better as well, like the Nissan GTR for example and.........
