That list had the 70s sm 146mph. A v6 hdi c6 I thought would pull that with the right setup and driver.

The C6 V6 3.0l HDi is also very quick. According to a couple of sites it can hit 146MPH. The Telegraph thinks it could hit 149MPH.

Is this stock only or with chip tuning (enhancing) as well? Because I heard of a few C5 X7s that have had their top speed limits disabled (pricey), and they reached 260 km/h ... 3.0 V6 of course (not sure of petrol or diesel though)

Looks as though the manual is clocked at 235KMH - 141MPH - disappointing.

I think that is disqualified, as it is a one off special!

That DS rocket, a One off special :)

It would keep the population "low" however, well pedestrians will be a tad shorter

Would that have to be re-geared for that ?
