M Drivers Package

M2CTony · 10-03-2023, 05:54 AM

Looking at the original brochure for the M2C - says that with the M Drivers Package that the top speed is de restricted to 190MPH - later version says 174MPH. Anybody been brave / stupid / had opportunity to do it?

I hit 145 mph on the track. It was still pulling but ran out of straight away.

Top speed worh the drivers package is around 171

On the front straight at Road America I can get to 150ish and that’s it. Granted it’s a brutal uphill climb, but I think you need to check YouTube for some autobahn blasts to see the real top end. You’d need a long runway to get to the top.

I didn't buy my car with the M Drivers package, nor was it listed on my window sticker. However, I took my car to the air strip and reached 160 mph. Could have kept going actually, the car was still pulling.

I live in Germany. Mine has the M driver's package and can confirm that it will hit an indicated 280 kmh (174 mph) I have not used a GPS to check the speedometer.

Indeed you would need quite a long runway to hit the top speed, looks like a stock M2C starts to struggle around 260km/h
