That will be 250 kph, about 155 mph.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.' -
That'll be its top speed as German car manufacturers (well Merc, BMW, Audi, et al) limit them to that. Even AMGs are limited but Porsche, Alpina and the other top end manufacturers don't. It was basically a sop to the government a while back. You can get the limiter (VMAX) taken off but you need to take it through the TüV (MOT) again and have it entered in your logbook and get your insurance re-done. When I look in my logbook it says 280kph with 18" wheels and 285kph with 19" wheels (guess which I have?)Originally posted by doodab View PostThat will be 250 kph, about 155 mph.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
