    False! Porsche doesn't know the words 'speed limiter'...

    I'm not aware of any 911/Boxster which is speed limited, no matter where in the world it is sold.

    May I ask a stupid question: why would a dealer claim that???

    The top speed of any current Porsche is electronically limited by the rev limiter. When the rev limiter comes on fuel is cut and the car will not go any faster. That is why on some test reports they make a note that the top speed is electronically limited. Jeff

    Right, the rev limiter on the 996 Turbo in 6th gear jumps in at around "true" 318 kph (~ 199 mph).
    I wonder why ANY dealer in the world would claim a 155 mph speed limit on the 996 Turbo, doesn't this guy want to sell his cars?
