Looks like somebody took the "DEVEK" sticker off the windscreen.

F-car and L-car guys have been suffering from this syndrome for years. In most real-world tests, those cars fall miserably short of the bragging speed. I guess we can't really fault a guy who uses a factor lambo-K when 'estimating the potential top speed' numbers. Reality is that only a very few in the US will ever get close to the S4's 165 advertised top speed, so only those same few might be even slightly disappointed that the same car won't quite make it to 215. Maybe a buyer will do like the F-car and L-car guys, and just mention that "the seller said it will go 215!" when asked by friends how fast it will go.
