Speedo runs out at 220. But now I have a GPS, when it warms up I will try again and see what we get.

I maxed out my speedo and I was still accelerating, so 220+ for me

so gave my brother my 480 to drive to the local shop (3km) and get some beer. He managed to get my 480 to 220km/h in that time

First time ever driving my car and he almost killes her

Well at least, getting your beer quickly is an advantage

I took mine up to 130mph. It would have gone quicker, but I thought that was fast enough. The A3 can be unpredictable.

Standard 2.0ES topped out at about 113.

It also over reads: 83mph actually = 76mph.

So that's probably not far over 100 on the flat.
