Does law enforcement profile vehicles like this?
One of the reasons I love my V-12 is the complete absence of any performance badges. It is a sleeper.
A Mercedes person would know that a later model W220 with “600” on the deck lid is equipped with the twin turbo V-12, putting out roughly 550 HP* and 600 lbft of torque.
But the average person has no idea that the car is a beast, capable of 1/4 mile times in the high 12s on street tires.
Always better to under promise, and over deliver, than the other way around.…
*Mercedes rates it at 493HP and 590 lbft. But while the torque is accurate, the HP is much higher. Some simple math shows that, and 1/4 mile times reflect it. Further, that 590 lbft exists from 1800 RPM to over 4,000 RPM.
