top speed on any old V8 S Class is over 150 mph, just takes time to get there, on a flat road with safe conditions.
That's kind of a bold statement.

The 380SE is an "old V8 S-class". It will do probably between 120-125 mph in said conditions.

Even a W126 560SEL will do maybe 145 mph, maxed out, drag limited.

I'm thinking the only V8 S-class that will hit those speeds is a newer 500SEL. Even a 6.9 will run only up to the mid 140s.
