The digital read out is in MPH and the analog is km/h.

Was the speedometer in MPH or km/h? if the latter, 178km/h is not that much.

So true...I regularly do 100mph on our highway to Abu Dhabi and ironically the speed cameras don't even flash till 110. Stable as can be.

Yes, I check my tire pressures ever single fill up.

If it was a German car it was presumably kph, though you certainly pushed the rpm. I won't tell you how many mph I regularly do late at night through the Eisenhower Tunnel at over 11,000 ft elevation on Interstate-70 (videocams notwithstanding).

178 mph. The digital read out is in MPH and the analog is km/h.


If you pause the video on a clear frame you can see the mph next to the digital read out speed and that the analog speedo is approaching 300 km/h

I really enjoyed driving my 911 in Germany when I lived there, although that was before the days of 180 MPH it was more like 150 MPH.

Exactly. We're not talkin' 178 kph if 6th gear revs are at 7000+.

Really amazing how quickly these cars can get from 110 to 170. It is a stratosphere that I've never explored. Just amazing.
