The car is limited to 180kph but this can be removed. I personally haven't been over 230kph but it is possible to get to 260 if the road is long enough. But I think these have all been on manual GPXs, my friends old GR tiptronic struggled to get over 200kph

I think you do a major service every 90,000kms although if you don't do a lot of kms I would change the cambelt every 4 years or so
