Found these images while searching through internet. Yes it is MPH not KMH. Amazing what these beasts are capable of.

I've actually seen that video. It was posted on M5board. He reached 200mph several times.

Wow, that is fast! - in a slow zone - Wow!

I wonder what the traffic engineers have ahead that they felt the need to suggest you slow down?

shit, that's like 330km/h!

That was actually at the end of the video where he was coming up on some toll booths and he decelerated pretty quickly. IIRC, the video was 8 minutes long or something.

Call me crazy but traveling 200 mph on a public highway is insane. That's a real danger to others. I think that speeds that fast have to be reserved for the racetrack. I've certainly gone triple digits but have never and would never approach a speed like that on a public road.

Nonetheless, it is amazing that the Beast can reach that speed. I did not think that a car with 500 bhp could go that fast. I would think that that speed would take closer to 650-700 bhp.

Coincidentally I think it was the video that was also posted by Stormster on this thread: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=74224&st=0

Seems like the link's not working anymore. He had posted it on M5board too.

Actually think you're right, make sense it is images from the same video. I think the video was removed a while back. I posted the link on both forums but can't find it on youtube at all now. Was actually quite impressive and I thought safe and sensible under the circumstances.
