Hi guys!
We sometimes ran our 1995 LS400Mk3 on the German Autobahn. One evening, coming down from Hamburg to Münster, we wanted to know it. My wife was driving, and I tried to calibrate the speedo with my stopwatch, while she tried to hold the LS at a steady 240km/h (150mph). The stopwatch showed 235km/h, so the speedo was off, but not too far. Then my wife stepped on it. Amazingly enough the car actually picked up speed quite quickly. In the end we brought the needle to 270km/h (168mph), so that should have been around 165mph real. It was a free highway and practically without traffic, there was nothing scary about it. So there is definitely life after 150mph
:-)
In the meantime we have changed the car for a 2002 LS430, and that one's definitely limited at 250km/h.
