m4rtin · Jul 26th, 2006, 15:56

i cant find this info anywhere.. im after the official 0-60 and top speed figures for the 760. the 1988 b280E btw as i assume the F and b28 are slower.

AutoCar Road Tests from the time indicate the following for the 760 GLE with the B280E Engine.

0-60mph 9.6 Seconds and the speedo actually read 65mph
0-100mph 30.4 Seconds and the speedo actually read 108mph

1/4 Mile time was 17.5 Secs @ 82Mph

Top Speed was 114mph @ 4420RPM in Overdrive or Top Gear.

Thank for posting the official specs now I know my V6 needs a rebuild as I'm only getting 18mpg and 20 on a very good day (by going down hill with a behind wind)

170Bhp that's a good amount of power shame mine doesn't have that so it's engine rebuild time (again).

Charlotte, isn't yours the catalysed B280F? If so it only has 155bhp, mostly due to the cams which are different to the 'E'. Also, have you tried 'water torture' on the engine yet, a lot of higher mileage engines respond wel to a good clean out of all internals?
