The Nissan GT-R in Japan is limited to 112mph... until the sat-nav sees that it's on a race track, then the limiter disappears.

Seriously serious.

It's a clever solution though- japanese cars are required to be limited, except when on a racetrack. Nissan have just automated it :-)

What happens when you're blasting around a corner at 150mph and the sat-nav crashes?
