12 piston caliper... they make those? governed at 212... lemme guess, to protect the tires i like the rims but not the white carbon fiber. it sure does give the mclaren mercedes slr a run for its money.

Yeah, it is limited to 212 because of the tires.
Unlimited it would go a bit faster that that .
