Guyz, all Jap. made cars or cars meant for the Jap. market (American or European) are electronically limited to 180km, even my RX8 is limited to 186km while having a top speed of around 255km. Anyways, the reason for speed limiters is to try to keep drivers from going completely bonkers. A simple solution is to install a device with the on-board computer which bypasses this altogether costing roughly Rs.10k. Mind you, the speed limiting bit has got nothing to do with our Govt's decision. The Altis although being a locally manufactured car is still being sent here pretty much built-up, hence the limiter !!
