I think they are limited to 155mph, but without the limiter maybe mid to low 180's.

According to AMG, the SL55 (sorry, lost the link) is limited to 250km/h in many areas, and 300km/h in others. The reason has to do with tires. There is no faster 4400lb car and they can't find a tire capable of hauling that heavy a car at over 300 km/h. With pure racing tires, I understand that the SL55 has run to OVER 350 km/h when completely uncorked.
Despite the extra HP, the SL65 won't go a whole ton faster thanks to the top speed being drag induced.

And to those of us who are burdened by the US's ineptness in transitioning to KMH? How many mph is that approx?
thanks

the F1 SLK is 3,230 lb.s and 360 h.p. it has upgraded brakes, cooling system, exhaust, suspension wheels tires, bodywork. Looks like the seating is lowered also - but that is just a guess. info from May/June 2004 MBCA Star magazine
very kool to load that thing through Eau Rouge with a bit of road dampness listening to Rush Red Barchetta
