Yeah personally I highly doubt this car went THAT fast.

300E AMG 6.0 Hammer competition

If you are talking about the top speed I think it's believeable.
Ferrari Testarossa has about the same power and probably around the same CDA and has the top speed around 300 kph. Testarossa is lower by quite a margin, but it's Cd is 0.36, while Hammer is only 0.27.
Also claimed horsepower rating could very likely be underrated for the Hammer.

It has the same engine as the 5.6 version but AMG technicians bore out the 5.6 litre unit to 6.0 litres. The reference (choose the 5.6L-V8 ('88)): http://www.mercedes-amg.com/index2.html?loc=en/engineroom/history
