Why does this black series hit a speed wall (not the limiter)?

Hi,

Just saw this YT video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l900pOvnCuo

The car accelerates strongly up to 307km/h (190mph) then stops. It's not ran out of revs, and looking at how it climbs in speed, it's not ran out of power either.

Why does it stop accelerating so abruptly at 307km/h?

Thanks.
 
Speed limiter?

155 usually but increased to 188ish on some models, the Black Series being one of them. This would be roughly the speed in the video.

That sounds right. And possibly down to the tyres speed rating too?
 
Oh right ok. I thought as it went passed 155mph, it must have had the limiter removed. I didn't know there was a secondary limiter, why would that be there?

What would it's top speed actually be? Should be able to just about hit the 200mph mark?
 
Very impressive how quickly it reaches that speed.
