Thing which puzzled me about that story is the published design maximum speed for the Audi RS6 (top spec) is just under 190mph. Where did they get a fair slice of extra speed from?

Looks like a decent downhill gradient, could be worth that extra 5% required.

So what's the ban on that then?

Fine of 150%-175% of weekly income and a disqualification from driving until an extended test is taken.

No precise ban for the offence?

The specification here is how long it takes to have a few lessons and then a test?

I thought there may be a 6 months thrown in for good measure.

Could be. Also, speedometers tend to read high at higher speeds.

Should be a lifetime ban and 10 years in jail for risking the lives of everyone on the road that day and being a pr1ck. Although personally I’d lump him in a box with all the nazis in London today and light them all on fire.

Could also be use of after market tweaking, but I'd guess at the Speedo incrementally giving a false reading at higher speeds.

I'd have thought there's a good chance of them being done for dangerous driving, so they could get a minimum ban of twelve months, plus a custodial sentence or community service, and a fine.

Before I clicked the link I assumed someone had clocked THEM. I love the fact that they're getting done after filming THEMSELVES.

This stupidity (let alone the stupidity of the speed) should see them serving time. They're too dumb to be allowed in civilised society.

Like the facebookers who found themselves nicked for stealing as part of the 2011 riots, they would probably have gotten away with it...

You have the right to remain silent, Should you, however refuse this right, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Thanks Sarge....I'm more with tiredness/being a sh*t driver kills, rather than speed.

I'm not excusing their stupidity to do this in the UK and especially post it online too. They only have to go to their local track, or a German autobann for their speed kick.

As for the nazi bit. I think that you can see from my posting history that I'm not from your local village green (I even uptick some of footers jokes).

I dislike all forms of extremism (except atheism)...

Peace. ✌

If it’s the latest RS6 it’s a virtual cockpit, as with most modern versions of all cars they carry vast amounts of telemetry to the ecu and constantly re calibrate so inaccurate speedometers are very much I thing of the past. I suspect the 200 mph has been achieved via a simple remapping if the ecu, its a very easy modification (not advisable if you want to retain the manufacturer warranty though) however it’s a completely irresponsible act to carry out on public roads. Childish and selfish.

Let alone driving one handed so you can film your speed with your phone

Things can happen very quickly at high speed and adjustments need to be gentle.
