4S maxed out at 154 MPH

Tighlines · May 30, 2023

Finally got a chance to go all out. The 154mph is expected but getting there was the unknown. The car pulled hard right up to 150 then the computer kicked in and regulated the acceleration slowly to 154. So solid, smooth and eerie (hearing the wind instead of a turbo V8). It would have been nice to get a little more out of her but for all intents and purposes 154 is fast enough.

Am I missing the rear spoiler fully deployed icon?

Haven't had a chance to go over 120mph here in the US in my CT but recall hitting the speed limiter on my new M4 convertible in 2014 on the autobahn from Munich to Switzerland at ca 164 mph

Have to say the car was as smooth as silk.

Just returned yesterday from Germany on a vacation trip and pushed my rental again on the autobahn to 145 - forgot how much fun that is

I've always thought the US should build an Autobahn type highway (or convert an existing one) and make it a toll. I think people would come from all over and pay whatever the toll was to drive on it.

Indeed - fastest stretch of Hwy in the US is here in TX but only to 85 mph

and only from Austin to Seguin so only 50-60 miles (actually think less than that as not for entire distance).

….all intents and purposes…. ?

right…..I will see myself out…..

PS, respect to those willing to take it to the max.

For some reason I clicked the title thinking someone ordered a $200k 4S.

This is actually cooler.

Well unless you have PSA's on how to drive in the right lane and a generational culture change, that won't ever happen in this country.

When the Atlantic City Expressway was built they claimed it was designed to run at 120 mph without any steering input. All the turns are banked and it’s not crowned (much). Supposedly the original intent was for an elevated speed limit but the oil crisis hit along with the nanny state so that never materialized.

Here’s an old article on speed limits. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...montana-last-states-full-freedom/2947782002/#

Interesting. Google shows it’s 247kph. I did 2 VMax runs and both ended up at 269kph.

Yes, without autobahn conventions and etiquette there would be fatalities within hours.

Don’t know what road you’re on but besides the official site that states 85 here is one of innumerable articles on the correct speed limit
