Noise aside, it seemed happy cruising at 65mph! Likely hit 70 going down the hills to Cornwallium!

I finally realised just how slow my 90 was when I could not keep up going up a steep hill following a D1. I had two on board and two sets of dive kit, the D1 had 4 folk aboard and four sets of dive kit, plus was towing a 6m Rigid Inflatable 
The D1 left me standing

I'm part of local legend around the A3 south of Petersfield when I effectively close a lane by getting down to 1st gear in the Lightweight towing the Etchells twice a year.I finally realised just how slow my 90 was when I could not keep up going up a steep hill following a D1.

I had to go into Low range pulling away in Bodmin High Rd. with the cattle trailer on the back. Then had to stay in Low until I got to the top of the hill. Didn't seem to bother anyone too much.

I don't see why it isn't possible. I think LR officially said 68mph top speed. I know my S3 would happily see 60-65mph on the speedo and gps. Gearing and rpm wise higher speeds are certainly attainable.
The ops photos show small tyres (205's maybe). So their speedo might be out if it was setup for 7.50's.
