There are a variation of things that affect the limit of a cars speed, primarily the horsepower and torque ratings of the car, in comparison to the weight of the car, but even with high ratings in comparison to weight, most cars also have a governing chip in the computer system, that shuts of the valves at a certain designated speed.

If it is safe, a car can be used at its top speed on such roads. Buyers will also compare cars by their top speed, even if they have no desire or ability to experience that speed, so it is used as one of many sales tools for manufacturers.
