Which car models have a 300 mph speedometer?
3 Answers
Basically, any performance car or sports car will have a speedometer that goes up to 300 mph or more. This doesn't even include some supercars like Pagani, Bugatti, or Koenigsegg, whose speedometers go up to 400 mph. Additionally, some high-end models also feature 300 mph speedometers, such as the Audi A4L, A6L, A7, A8L, and others. Below are introductions to some relevant vehicles: 1. Audi A6 powertrain: It uses a 2.0T engine with a maximum power output of 190 horsepower and peak torque of 320 Nm. It is paired with a 7-speed AT transmission. There is also a 3.0T V6 engine and a hybrid version available. This version can deliver up to 340 horsepower and a maximum torque of 500 Nm, offering explosive performance. 2. New CT6 maximum torque: Although the new model's maximum torque has been reduced to 350 Nm, its maximum torque output platform arrives much earlier, providing maximum torque output across the commonly used 1500-4000 rpm range.
I've noticed many performance cars have speedometers scaled up to 300km/h, like the Mercedes-AMG C63 and BMW M3 - those V8 beasts. When I drove my friend's vintage 911, it was particularly mind-blowing to see the needle sweep all the way to the 300 mark. But let's be honest, with China's highway speed limits in place, it's purely psychological satisfaction. Some German cars in Europe come factory-scaled to 300 because they have stretches of autobahn without speed limits. Realistically, you'd need at least a Porsche 911 Turbo-level machine to actually hit 300. For regular family cars, the 300 marking is more about visual drama - the redline on the tachometer is what really deserves attention.
Cars with a 300-marked speedometer are generally performance-oriented. During my test drive, I noticed that the entire Audi RS series comes standard with this feature. However, as a daily commuter, I find this design quite impractical. It's hard to even reach 80 in the city, and on the highway at 120, the needle only reaches one-third of the scale, which ironically causes anxiety. If you're buying a used car like an old BMW M5 with a 300-marked speedometer, pay extra attention to the engine condition, as the previous owner might have actually pushed it to its limits. For ordinary families, fuel efficiency and space are more practical considerations when choosing a car.
