Glad your car is as good as new... You have Active Steering faliure! And why are driving with front and rear foglights ON?
I really don't hope it's foggy, because doing 250 km/h in those weather condition where foglights are necessary, may be the fastest way back to the body shop
Drive safe and have a nice weekend

But 6100 rpm in 240 km/h on fifth?

How does the car feel otherwise?
Any extra sqeekings?
PS. please fill in your whereabouts.
