Has anyone ever reached the top speed of their PriusII?
I'm reluctant to push mine past 125km/hr i'm scared i may be over revving (since there is no tachometer to guide me); so if anyone has gone higher than this please share some info.
i've read somewhere that it's 160km/hr or about 100mph but i cant confirm that.

From what I've read, it's somewhere between 100 and 110 mph.

Read my new biweekly column, The Western Street 7.
Visit my political debate forum, Volconvo.

I've read it's limited to 110 MPH.

great!

thanks everyone for the info,

now i dont have to "test" my car and use it as a guinea pig and drive it to that speed knowing what you guys have told me.

I cannot picture a hybrid car running at 110MPH or 176KM/hr anyway, that would be like a ford mustang pulling a boat (i actually witnessed this the other day BTW).

thanks

well I beg to differ from your #'s guys, however according to my speedo i reached 112mph on interstate 294 near chicago and when i hit that speed the computer shut me down ! it was almost like i reached the magic # and the car flipped a switch and knocked me down. once i reached about 90 i had the throttle again, but i didnt go back up to that speed. Im sure this is some safety device built in. Ive been racing formula type cars for 25 years and i had too, i just had too. Its in my nature to push it. oh and one more thing, at about 105 mph, i was getting 31 mpg !!! cool.

Yup, i know that feeling, I've been tempted by it more than a few times.

I love speed as well,
My other car is not exactly a rocket, but in the instruction booklet it says max speed limited electronically to 205km/hr. So i went ahead and "investigated" more than (a lot) of times.

I managed 110mph twice, but the noise from the tires was freaking me out.
