Default Brock Coupe Top Speed

So far the top speed on the new Superformance Coupe has all been speculative...That is until a few days ago. A recent communication with Superforamce's test driver, Jeff Blanford, indicates that the coupe went 206 MPH in streeet trim, just as predicted by Mike Stenhouse's calculations in a recent post. The speed was confirmed not on the Coupe's 160 MPH speedo' but by using GPS on a special section of unused hiway set aside for such tests.Congrats to Jeff for being the first to exceed 200 MPH in the new Coupe. Blanford's only comment regarding the speed was "that the car feels very stable, but the road does tend to look a bit narrower once you get over 190!" Badger
