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

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

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

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

All of the above answers are correct but Mercedes Benz has one goal in mind and that's 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.
