This is a speed-in-gears chart, which is just a graphical representation of the mathematical relationship between the engine RPM and the road speed in various gears.  Nothing here implies that the car ever has, or indeed could, go 200 MPH in real life.

I would not be interested in being the first one to attempt drive a stock-shape TR4 at twice the speed I have driven mine.
