Default World Fastest Production Car?

Not sure how to go about this. I seem to remember that posting links was not allowed. Here's a page that talks about the new sedan coming stateside this summer. Click on the picture of the car on page one for more detailed info.

Koenigsegg is a roadster only... I couldnt find anything about a sedan. Plus, I think right now the worlds fastest sedan is the M5. I remember reading somewhere that without U.S. spec speed governor, it would hit 210 MPH.

Excellent point on the sedan part, my bad. I will try and edit the title to just "production car".

I'd be interested to see how a S65 AMG would do w/o a speed governor.... it has 100 more hp than the M5.

Or the lighter CLS65 AMG for that matter, even though MB calls it a coupe.

There's a CLS65? I thought the 55 was the highest so far?
