its restricted by the gearbox and the standard rev limits though, so to pull of that speed id bet it needs loads of uprated internals to allow it to rev alot higher

I've had 168mph out of mine with the GPS. The speedo was off the needle too at over 180. :laugh:

Depends how inaccurate the speedo is at a guess. I reckon that clip was a solid 170mph on a GPS, which would put the needle off the end of the speedo :driver:

In 6th it will pull 27mph per 1000rpm so the maths is fairly straightforward.  :wink:

My old Ibiza pulled 172mph gps.  I would have thought most 2+ cars could pull 160mph +?

Even true 420 HP is not enough for a speed of real 300 km/h with a Golf.
You have to drive a hill down to reach this speed. Next problem: gearbox and rpm.

I had about the same downhill on the German autobahn. I remenber, even if I realy had to focus on my driving, that I saw 275km/h (about 172mph) at the GPS and the car was still going a little bit faster. Then I saw 7200rpm on the tachometer in 6th gear that is about 290km/h (180mph) at the speedometer. That's bloody fast even more on a bumpy two lane higway, with curves!!!  :driver:

My car is about 300Hp

That said, I made some simulation based on real A3 speed recorded with several type of engine ans it seems that maximum real speed achievable with an A3 on flat road is:

300Hp => about 260km/h 160Mph
350Hp => about 270km/ 170Mph
400HP => about 280km/h 175Mph

To reach 300 real km/h 190Mph you will need about 600Hp!!!

Your s-tronic in 7th, can get you up to 240mph iirc, if you have enough power. Dont think even I would be crazy enough to try that though  :signLOL:
