Well, yeah, that is "our" V8. There are other BMW V8's that get very close to that. And keep in mind - what is a displacement of MB V8? And what is its fuel economy?

$495,000 for style and exclusivity. Performance-wise, the SL65 Black Series with its V12 twin turbo and 670HP makes the SLR irrelevant.
