As per header, is the GT (and indeed the EB) limited at all?
I am asking this as more and more people are reporting that they should be, but they don't seem to be, at least not at the "gentlemen agreement speed of 250 km/h (155mph)"!
These speeds have been measured using various sat navs to confirm "real" speed and not indicated. In my own car, the speedo is 100% correct, ie if i drive at 100 km/h on the speedo, the sat nav showed the exact same speed. Same at various other speeds. Amazing!
My dealer told me he managed 267 km/h (166mph) in his GT manual. But did not hit a limiter....
Someone else I know managed 269 km/h (167mph) in his GT and did not hit a limiter. This was an automatic.
I have myself done 270 km/h (168mph) (at least) in mine and I did hit a limiter. Felt like driving into a wall as the car suddendly would not increase anymore. A bit like other cars i have or had. All i can say is that the GT is incredible capable for building up speed and got there very very quick! Although I can not prove this speed as I have no reason to carry a sat nav with me.....I have since run a second test with my Garmin sat nav in the car to confirm the real speed and "only" reached 264 km/h (164mph) due to traffic.
Please Note: I do NOT recommend anyone to try this and if you do, it is you who make that decision and you who take any and all risks! If you do decide to test your car, please do so where legal.
Pic - please ignore all the other data as it's not relevant.
