Volvo limits its cars' top speed to 112 miles per hour for safety

[Krabba]

Volvo will put a speed limit on its cars as part of its effort to eliminate fatal accidents. The automaker says the limit will stop cars from going faster than 180 kilometers per hour, which works out to 112 mph. It said it is also considering other technology that could put stricter speed limits on cars driving near schools and hospitals.

As long as they can get me to that 112 mph in under 9 seconds, we got a deal!

Hmm... i had it up to 200kph recently, and it was fun but did feel like it would be a challenge to handle in case of an emergency maneuver...

That seems to only apply to European models.
