The rest of the world does not mean the security or whatever?????
First of all you must know that the car manufacturer testing tires and wheels in extreme conditions and speeds before permitting the manufacture and sale of same.
So this applies only to the USA.

It's electronically limited in both the U.S. and Canada to 130 mph - most likely because the stock tires available on the configurations sold in both countries have R speed ratings. Johncaravello's lawsuit comment is probably right on target.
Even in Deutschland, the top speed is 234 km/hr (145) with the 3.2 FSI. Given the redline, it would probably go even faster.

R speed ratings 170KM/H = 105MPH

With chip tuning 272HP or 202kW maximum speed is 242 km / h

It is true that my English is not good.
But I can read well: "hmm, maybe you're right. I'll have to see for myself one of these days. Audi's website says top speed 130mph"
I wrote;"Q5 is not limited to 130MHP maybe in the U.S. market"
So, I wrote the truth 100%.
Best Regards

Thanks... This was driving me crazy. The regular speedometer is a classic "form over function". The entire normal driving range is in a small area from about 6 to 9:30... Most of the dial is from 80-180. I know they have the audobahn in Germany... but we don't here.. so it is very hard to tell one's speed.
I am thrilled I can get around this with the digital speedometer (even though a regular dial is usually better)
