figgy Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) Koenigsegg Jesko will soon better it by a couple of mph and race will be back.on to be fastest. As these cars are over a million a pop don't think the owners are bothered about speed limits. Track days and runways are the thing. To be fair back in the fifties cars were doing over a 150 mph. If you watch the festival of speed timed shoot out a old lancia sports car from the 1930's beat most modern sports cars. So 300 mph in a modern supercar isn't a huge milestone with modern technology.

The manic look might be close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fairly regularly hit 150 but don't stay there for long. At 300 its more to do with aerodynamics than engine power Edited September 19, 2019 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard (ie expensive) to get tyres rated for over 140 so i don't suppose I will do it again. At one time all German Autobahns were unlimited but the German govt started putting speed limits on them because of the horrendous accidents. The German car manufacturers complained to the Government, how could they sell high performance cars if the customers had nowhere to drive them. So the government agreed, a few selected Autobahns would remain unrestricted if in return the cars were limited to 155mph by their engine management .
