With my C320 mercedes sedan I cruise with ease at a speed of 140-180 Km on any clean road. It negotiates corners with ease even at a speed of 140-160 Km. It accelerates from 0-100 Km/h within 6 seconds. The ride is a machine.

Hello nairalanders... A lot of us are often guilty of beating our chest about how fast we can go on the highway e.g 150km/hr, 180km/hr Ɛ.t.c. That is however different from Τђε speed at which we can comfortably maintain/manage without endangering ones life. Personally i max out at 140km/hr, not because I can't go any faster but simply because our roads αяє notoriously capable of developing craters overnight no thanks †̥σ shoddy work by some contractors. So let's hear yours, keep Τђε ball rolling!
Happy new week and please don't allow your oga at the top †̥o nab you attempting †̥σ comment on nairaland while you're on duty. ℓ☺ℓ!

160km/hr. Depend on d road anyway

so if a car a max speedometer of 260km/hr, what makes u think the car can't do 225km/hr. Or do u think the Speedo is there just for decoration? Moreover that speed was not achieved on a Nigerian road. If u have ever driven on an interstate highway outside the country, u will know no speed is unattainable. I have seen someone do 200km/hr on kaduna- kano highway with a toyota 4 runner. Now compare that with a car built for sports on a better longer stretch road.

Be quiet dude... He should also tell me the car he went up to 225km/hr with. I have 2 badass sport cars including a Ferrari . I am a speed monster.. I know about speed cars.

I can't believe people drive 120KM/HR and above on public roads in Nigeria and they are proud about it. Lawless country indeed

Do you know the road called German Autobahn?


People take the speed to the limit the slower you drive the more likely you get arrested. In a 3 series BMW Alpina we were doing 155 mph constant for about 25 minutes

OCTAVO: My max is 140km/h on highway.
Took me 19mins to drive through Ogbomoso - Ilorin grin
If the road is free and good, I don't mind flying with a car.

Cool....

200km/hr on abuja- kaduna road I can believe. But 210km/hr on sagamu- ibadan expressway? I don't know which expressway that is but if u are talking about lagos-ibadan expressway then I can't believe u. That road is one of the worst highways in Nigeria and I doubt u can do 160km/hr for more than 5 mins on that road.

pls don't mind all these non car enthusiasts that just come here to say rubbish. People come from different countries just to drive on the autobahn so the can push their cars to the limit. Imagine a road without speed limit, just a recommended speed limit of 130km/hour. Below is a YouTube video of driving on German autobahn. Note the speed of 290km/hr at 0:48 secs.

this is the fastest motorway in the world.

I'm not fighting with u. Siena said he did 251km/hr on the German autobahn and u and others said he was lying. I'm just letting u know that people do excess of 300km/hr on that road. U can go as fast as ur car can take u on the fastest motorway in the world. He has no reason to lie, afterall nobody is getting paid from this. This thread is not about argument , so abeg I no fight with u. We all gain knowledge everyday, that's why we come to forums like this. Abeg u again, no be fight... In fact u win, I give up

Thought u would say In Nigeria! None of our Naija roads can handle that speed.

For me, on any highway - 140km/hr average.
Not that I cannot do more, but that's how I drive to anywhere and considering our roads. Have done 180km/hr before on Abuja - Kaduna
In Nigeria, I v done 154m/hr before (2006 c class), I ride a v6 engine and do 180-200kh/hr every other night (kubwa express). Depends on the terrain though. Drive really fast but very careful.

The most comfortable speed where I can conveniently control my car is between 140-160kh/hr.

Ladies and gents, speeding depends on so many factors. such as country driving codes law road type of veihcle and you. But in nigeria all of the above doe nt count.

Any body can enter road with any engine do 140 mph no regulation thats why we geting good credit in accident on our roads inni.

No disrespect...I don't know much about cars but the max speeds on the speedometer of most cars are far from attainable. Manufacturers are now upping thise numbers to boost sales(source..Bloomberg business report). If a Toyota Hilux did 200kph...Toyota would be coming to buy it....just saying! Back to topic...highest speed you can comfortably drive at.

Yassar2688: I Maintained 240 KM/h for good 32 minutes with 2001 Mitsubishi Diamante 3.5 V6, along New Ilorin expressway, Mehn my heart quake when I attempted to slow down, the brake stop functioning.
Which part of that road has a stretch of 120km for you to drive at that speed?....and in a Mitsubishi Diamante?...was it downhill and in a hurricane?...just asking.
