Only a fool would explore the car's outer performance limits on a public roads.
That's best saved for a race track and if you can afford an LP640, you should be able to buy yourself some track time to see what it can really do.
The driver (and owner?) of the car in the video embarked on a quest to set the "world speed record" for an LP640 on Arizona public highways at night
On his first run, he makes it to 211 mph according to his trip computer, and he ultimately lays off after overtaking a car that was braking in another lane. You can hear him say in the video, "I didn't even know that he was there. I didn't see him." Well fancy that - Numpty
211 wasn't enough, so on the next attempt, the driver hits 214. Once again, he is forced to back off because he comes up on another car traveling in his direction. He then intones, "214. We could have got even more if it wasn't for this car in front of us." Yes, how inconsiderate of that other car.
The third time's the charm, and we see him take a sweeping curve at 170 on his way to an indicated top speed of 219.
