Top speed
I have had my 90 for almost a year now. I have never bothered to find out what max speed it can do. Well, today I did and it was a disappointingly 137 km/h (85 m/h)

I am not really sure if I should Big Cry or Rolling with laughter

That's because they are electronically limited to 85mph.

Mind you that can easily be cured by those in the know and a laptop Wink MAD COW

I would say that is fast enough. Just consider the weak Al body and rollovers. Puma 110" SW

The speed limiter kicked in at 145kph last year on a motorway. I was overtaking a car that decided to speed up when i was half way past it. It was safer to speed up than slow down. It seemed to handle the speed quite well. 130 crew cab

And showing that it vibrates to much at that speed to be taking pictures Laughing

Mine hasn't gone past 132kph todate. Also the Northern Territory in Australia now has a 130kph speed limit, unlike pre-2007 when it was the same as an autobahn. Did you know a fully loaded up manual 300Tdi Disco can do 150kph Shocked 110 2.4TDCi
