No street car can do 300 mph

It has to do with power/weight ratio.

A car that can't travel 200 km/h will not be able to pull a caravan up a steep hill...... or at least that's the legal justification for it anyway.

standard i think because they don't have to make these things for every car
so for every BMW a one that goes until 260
for every Volkswagen one that goes until 200
you mean

That looks like an M3 Interior, and the speed is most definately Kilometres per Hour. I think that a derestricted M3 can reach speeds of about 180mph? if that is the case, and u calculate that for Kilometres, it is 288, which is close enough!
