I got up to 198 km/h (123 mp/h) today.
2SZ-FE 1.3l 87hp
5-Speed
I achieved that downhill on the autobahn and with a lot of patience.
When the car approaches 170 km/h (105 mp/h) it really climbs very slowly.
The car barely has enough power to top out in 4th gear on it's own.
You literally need to drive downhill to top out in fourth gear.
And it doesn't top out in 5th. 198 km/h at a little over 5000 rpm.
Rev limiter is at 6200 rpm.

Actually my goal was to get to 200 km/h (125 mp/h) but unfortunately another driver pulled in front of me to overtake a slower vehicle going "only" 150 km/h and i had to slow down a little. I bet the car can get up to 200 km/h if no one is interrupting your attempt. :D

Maybe lighter wheels and tires would to the job. I read an interesting article about the wheels and tires on the Bugatti Chiron. At 400 km/h the forces on the wheels and tires are incredible and i think they said that 3 tons of weight pull on every wheel at 400 km/h.
