I hope it doesn't have one. How would they sell this car in Europe? I know there are governors.. but imo that's idiotic. Who chooses at what speed it's set? What if I need more power/speed to get out of a dangerous situation and I hit it? Could I sue them? It's an unlikely scenario I know but it could happen..

Speed limiters can always be bypassed or bumped up, if you are interested it going faster than most limiters are set from the factory than you shouldn't mind spending a little money to get the computer reprogrammed. My 328 now is limited to 132mph and the new M3's are still limited to 155mph but both of which can be gone for about $350 and with that you get better ignition timing and fuel curves to boost power and throttle response. The best thing about having technology to set a speed limiter is that somebody has the technology to get rid of it and make the car faster than it could have been in the first place.

Yes I realize that.. Especially if the car comes with all season tires that aren't capable of sustained 180km/hr+ speeds. But in this case it's a sports car with Z rated tires capable of 240km/hr+ Hell my Prelude with Z rated rubber and upgraded brakes can cruise at 200km/hr all day. Why govern a sports car?
