What Is The Maximum Speed You Have Ever Attained While Driving A Car? by AutoJoshNG: 10:27am On Oct 07, 2016
I was having a chat with this lady who was so excited for being able to attain a maximum speed of 60 kph (kilometres per hour) on the highway. I could not hold back my laughter as she almost fainted when I told her I attained a maximum speed of 200 kph back in the days.

I also showed her this video shot from a friend who turbo-ed his 2013 Benz ML to 220 kph. I am sure some of us must have exceeded this speed.

What is the maximum speed you have ever attained while driving? Drop your response in the comment section.

I have done 200km/hour with my 2015 Toyota corolla late last year at Kwali road along Lokoja -Abuja Express road....
Also in July 2005 with my Opel Vectra 1998 Model I did 180km/hour along Lagos-Ibadan Express road.

But this days you can hardly do 70km/hour due to bad situation of our roads.

When fuel price was good, I do 180-200KM/H, But now, 120-140 is the real deal..
The current car I drive the speed limiter kicks in around anything above 140KM/H.. They set the limiter with forecast.

Weldon!

How do you manage to gain such speeds in such tall, slim, short wheel base SUVs?
I can't do a 100km/h with complete mind in an RX300 cos I fear it may roll over due to its build.

Boss, I be speed demon oh cheesy
But I don't clock 180km/hr always.
I once tried clicking 140mph and next moment my heart skipped (I wonder why) grin
Most times I like the feel of the RAV4's quick take off when you rev it high wink

2003 lexus es300 180km/hr,i never knew i have gotten to that speed not until i couldn't find the car i was racing(2008 ford edge) with coming from my mirrors,i immedately reduced the speed.
I don't think it is possible to get to 220km/hr with RX 330 or 300,you need to fix your speedometer its not working well.

Was going to d east from Lagos in mid june wt my newly cleared C300.
Ol boy,I reached Ore where d road is good and wide,next thing I noticed was that it looked like I was practically flying but d speedometer was at 140.It didn't help too that I wound all up and was using d A/C.
It was after a time it occurred to me that d speedometer was in m/h and not k/h and it didn't help that all d cars I'd used b4 were calibrated in KMs.
No be person tell me to 'reduce' leg for throttle.
