Default V10 S8 top speed governor

How many owners have tested this? I'm in Germany and have been trying out the autobahns. The handbook says it is limited to 250kmh. So imagine my surprise at hitting 255, with the car still pulling hard (then had to brake as I ran out of empty road).

Anyone else found the 250 limit appears to be a bit soft?

Also, booting it from 180-190 or so is a formidable experience! It leaps forward and then continues to accelerate hard.
