Three digits is possible - I do 100km/h all the time! Seriously though I have had my former [sold] 1984 Westfalia up to 160km/h (100mph) - it was equipped with a 105hp 1.8L motor from a Jetta GLI - this was on a slight down hill and over a long period of time (2 minutes) to get to the speed, but it is about as fast as it wanted to go - putting the RPM gauge in the low 5000s in 4th gear - just for the record, westies arn't meant to go that fast - a very scary ride at that speed.
