bhp= body horse power, and the bugatti veyron can go 250+ mph, but under some regulations, one of them is you can not turn the wheel more than 35 degree in any direction because the car will send a message to the computer that will limit it to only do hundred something miles per hour. If they are to bring ti to the US it will cost $1million dollars which is what the McLaren F1 cost. Also this car has a V 16 engine.

Because they can. VW made a car with 1000 bhp (brake horse power) as a technical exercise. It had 10 radiators and they had to limit the top speed to 250mph. At full pelt, the 100-litre tank emptied in 12 minutes and the whole thing cost, like £5 million to make. They called it the Bugatti Veyron. I want one!!!!

All of the above answers are correct but Mercedes-Benz has one goal in mind and that is to be ahead of the curve in luxury and performance. The gadgets you see in the s class Mercedes are what your gonna start seeing in Audi, BMW, Infiniti, Acura, and Lexus so its only natural for them to make more and more powerful cars.

because they are Mercedes Benz, plus their cars are really heavy so they need more power to overcome the weight.

Germany has no speed limits.
However, practically any accident is sure death.
On the other hand, Germans drive using common sense.
