No car that is sold to consumers need to go 120 mph... There's no reason for it. Yet sports cars that go 200 are sold to anyone with a check.
It's crazy
It's really crazy. Many standard, not luxury cars are able to go 200km/h or even faster. There is exactly one place in the world where you are legally allowed to drive that speed: The German Autobahn. But even there you won't be able to do that due to traffic, speed limits etc. in many cases. It's totally crazy that car manufacturers are building cars for those 70% of Autobahns without speed limit.
