I'll add to the evidence

Last week on a clear three lane part of the autobahn I had the car's speedo bouncing between 153 and 155 indicated. I've read all the post about how the speedo is set a bit higher. I held this speed for about 30 seconds (felt like thirty minutes). It's definitely a speed limiter, not a rev limiter. The car pulled nicely from 130 to 155 and felt like it definitely wanted to go faster.

p.s. The car did tend to feel a bit floaty at 140 and up, but I still took plenty of wide sweepers at this speed without any protest from the chassis or tires. This problem not very noticable on nice smooth road though, only when hitting bumps.
