Not really, 160kmh in a new LandCruiser is a piece of p***. They can do that all day every day.
A 200 Series would would still feel rock solid at 180 or higher - Thank the middle east customers for that.

Heck, in Italy I was driven at one point at 160kmh in a VW Transporter van by a little old nonna.

Modern cars are capable of very comfortable high speeds. Not that im saying you need to go that fast in Australia.
