Officially, not sure but I believe about:

0-60 in 6.1 sec
1/4 in 14.5 sec

In actuality, I'd say it's quicker in both respects. Probably about 5.8 sec to 60 and right around 14 sec in the quarter mile. Top speed is limited to 155 mph at best.

These are guesses, but I don't think I'm off by too much. Anyone care to chime in with more concrete data?

Welcome to MercedesShop BTW!

The May 2003 issue of Car and Driver previews the new SL600 twin turbo V12. They reference the 1993 600SL with a 0 to 60 time of 5.5 seconds.

I stand corrected. Think that puts 1/4 mile times in the mid to high 13s?

I think it may have made more because of the different emissions setup. I read somewhere that one of the Mercedes engines lost about 5 horsepower because of the restricted flow of exhaust.
