Speedometer top speed often exceeds reality

In a Feb. 11, 2013 photo, the speedometer of a 2013 Ford Fusion displayed at the Bob Maxey dealership in Detroit. Although current cars with high-horsepower engines can come close to the top speedometer speeds, most are limited by engine control computers. That’s because the tires can overheat and fail at higher speeds. (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio)The speedometer on the Toyota Yaris says the tiny car can go 140 miles per hour. In reality, the subcompact's engine and transmission can't push it any faster than 109.
