Huh? In the UK at least they seem to have set upon 155 mph as the limit

I don't think this is legislated anywhere (legal limit is 70mph anyway...) - some have higher limits for example.

What region are you speaking of? AFAIK, any car marketed in the US to do over 115mph (of which there are many), will do over 115mph.
