Couple years back the boys from one of Brit mags (I forget which) took E-Class Brabus V12 onto autobahn and dialed as much as 190MPH on it.

Losing along a handful of 2-door sports cars whose owners looked as though somebody hit'em with a metal pipe upside the head

They come with Launch Mode, I reckon.
Increasing number of producers of cars packing hang-on-to-your-dear-nuts amounts of horsepower tend to do that these days.
