145 mph and 4900 rpm, the pretty fast and you not even hit the redline. If Lexus don't have the limiter at 149mph, I'm just wondering what the top speed would be.

Most cars can't get to the red line in top gear because you're not getting any more torque or horse power at that kind of speed because of all the wind resistance.
