I think you're right about "for the time". What did it do, 145-150 mph or something? That was pretty good as V8 Ferrari would be pushed hard to do that, and a porsche 930 was only a tick faster. Today, many sedans have to be chained down to keep them at 155 mph, though I hear Mercedes and BMW may be lifting the limiters to keep up with other luxo brands. I think in Germany, on some AMGs you can already order an optional limiter that raises the limit to 300kph over the current 250kph limit. Even at 300, I'm pretty sure they're holding some models back.

Wasn't the 6.3 faster than the 6.9? I'm guessing they mean fastest production sedan for the time.
