The governer kicks in at 149 which Lexus put in place due to the factory V-rated tires (if they allowed the car to go faster and a tire blew, sending the driver into a spin, then it would be their fault instead of the tire manufacturer's). Top speed if the governer was removed, from what I've calculated, should be somewhere between 154 and 158 depending on conditions.
