I know they are still very quick, even by today's mental standards. However, Mercedes figures vary from 'only' around 480 bhp, to later cars that are said to have around 520 bhp. How come they are so quick (especially so, considering they weigh nearly two tonnes). Is it gearing? Or are the quoted power figures very pessimistic?

An SL55 can be had for about £12k, and a pint to the right man can get the 155mph limit removed, to top out at 202 or 207mph depending on who you believe (it could be argued that isn't standard anymore).

I've seen a couple of videos of D5s at 300 kph, but I think they'd probably need more power to get any further.
