Hi Nathan, Paul and all,

Theoretically, top speed for the non-injected DS21 was 178 km/h, or almost
111 mph. The fastest model in the range, the DS23IE ('72) was quoted at 188
km/h (117 mph) but some tests went a bit over 120mph. DS21IE ('69) performed
the same.
Anyway, there's much more to this car than speed ;-)
Cheers,
