The SL is the perfect car for fast pulls on the Autobahn, especially the V8 and V12 versions. Provided the limiter was taken out, of course. Considering how easy you can increase power with the older 55 AMG models while still having a rock solid engine (just a remap and new cams can give you 600 hp) and how these aerodynamic beasts can pull at high speeds, I wouldn't be surprised that you can reach speeds beyond 340 or more. It's the perfect supercar killer.

8:12 by journalist of SportAuto with factory speed limiter (250 km/h). 500-hp version*

Who knows where possible to find information or videos of 517-hp version run (8:06) on Nordschleife?

My SL 600 V12 Biturbo is fast, Quicker than my late Ferrari 360 spider -by a tad- But to my astonishment My Son's friend has a SLK 32 AMG and its performance has shocked me!! As for the SL55 AMG some say that it is comparable to the SL 600 V12 biturbo, There is very very little in either cars performance I have come up against the SL55AMG and my SL 600 biturbo appeared to have the edge! Yes, we were both giving both cars all they had,

Times you get off \"dragtimes.com\" don\'t prove anything.

People aren\'t always honest. Something like Car and Driver is a whole more reliable.

0-100 km/h is 4.4s? This should be the spec of the SL65 AMG right?
