Per wikipedia (if that's authoritative dunno):
The fastest speeding ticket in the world allegedly occurred in May 2003 in Texas. It was supposedly 242mph in a 75mph zone. The car was a Swedish-built Koenigsegg CCX, which was involved in the San Francisco to Miami Gumball 3000 Rally.[5]

Obviously 290.000$ looks like some sort of communist punishment for the rich. On the other hand, you need to consider the fact that a 20 million $ guy could pay the regular value of a tickt every day, without caring a bit about it, therefore putting himself above the law. My guess is this is what that swiss court had in mind.

I had a client once who got four tickets in shor order for going form 104 to about 108 mph in his Bricklin on a trip from Grand Junction to Denver on a challenge to see how quickly he could get there. That was when the speed limit was 55. I got them to drop three of the tickets and he plead to 104. He got 9 days in jail.

If memory serves, on the most recent New York to LA rally the second place car never exceeded 80mph.
Classic rabbit and hare race.
