The InterCity 225 was designed to achieve a peak service speed of 140 mph (225 km/h); during a test run in 1989 on Stoke Bank between Peterborough and Grantham, an InterCity 225 was recorded at a speed of 162 mph (260.7 km/h). [9]
A successful first run was made from a standing start at idle thrust and gradual acceleration, reaching an estimated top speed of 180 mph. The second run was planned to be a drag start, with thrust built up against the brakes and then released. At around 140 mph though, a rear-wheel bearing seized [notes 3] and the car went sideways, then ...
The time it takes a vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h or 27 m/s), often said as just "zero to sixty" or "nought to sixty", is a commonly used performance measure for automotive acceleration in the United States and the United Kingdom. In the rest of the world, 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62.1 mph) is used.

The driver weaved in and out of traffic and hit a top speed of 140 mph on Interstate 275, troopers said. The driver went off the highway and was stopped by troopers, according to highway patrol.
Each player starts with a car with a Start Speed of 40 mph, Acceleration and Deceleration of 20 mph, Top Speed of 140 mph, and 4 Wear Points. Each player has a pool of 5 points. [2] Using a pool of 5 points, each player spends 0, 1 or 2 points on each of those categories, resulting in: Start Speed (40, 60 or 80 mph) Acceleration (20, 40 or 60 ...
Minnesota Vikings first-round draft pick Jordan Addison told the state trooper who clocked him going 140 mph in a 55 mph zone last week that he was speeding because of an emergency involving his dog.
