Does UrS6 speed limited @ 250Km/H?

As i know that most german Auto is mostly limited
the top speed @ 250 Km/H.So what about our UrS4/S6? Has anyone ever reached over the speed limited with no any modification?

In the US and Canada, they were speed limited to 130 mph (210 km/hr)
without the speed limiter, a stock UrS6 will do 155 mph (250 km/hr) according to factory testing.
Yours may not have the speed limiter.

That photo is from an V8 S6+ (about 425 hp)(IIRC). Our cars at stock 227 hp can only...
due a true 150 mph (about 240 kph) - although the indicated speed will be higher - maybe 250 kph.
With a chip (270 hp) or RS2 conversion (minimum 315 hp) then the top speed will be above 250 kph (155 mph). Its not a linear progression though. Horsepower requirements increase with the cube of the velocity because of aerodynamic drag (for the most part).
Don't try this a home kids. Save it for a LONG track.

I guess I meant 152 mph (245 km/hr) according to J Pribble's site
which I assume was published in C&D 1992. I just checked that issue and it says 127 mph, but "without the limiter Audi claims the S4 can climb to about 150 mph".
Also, the 1995 Canadian brochure says, Top Track Speed: 241 km/hr, Maximum speed electronically limited to 215 km/hr.
So I supposed 150 mph is the top speed unlimited.<ul><li><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20030219124215/urs4.com/S4S6/S4S6_performance.html">http://web.archive.org/web/20030219124215/urs4.com/S4S6/S4S6_performance.html</a</li></ul>

You're right. I keep getting the Chrysler hemi hps mixed up with the S6+. The normal ..
hemi is 340 hp and the 6.0 L SRT 8 hemi is 425 hp.
The normal S6 V8 (Europe only) hp was probably about 280 hp, right?
