Not many std cars can hit 200 GPS.
Even fewer in this country legally.
All of them super exotic, and way more than £50k
Depends what you mean by "std". The E60 M5s we are talking about have a 155mph limiter, so removing that is turning it into a non standard car, but it's not a mechanical change of any sort.Even fewer in this country legally.

The E60+ M5's use GPS for their speedo by the way.
The base engine is already pretty highly strung, and making it rev higher isn't feasible (reliably) without mechanical changes.
Fuelling can be altered, but at WOT and peak revs it's already giving everything.

As a slight aside, MRC have a tuned Audi S4 that seems to crack the 200 barrier at VMAX days (see their video) but I wonder how much the conversion cost on top of a 2.7 S4...???
Bloody amusing though, being able to see off most other vehicles on the road in something that resembles an aged repmobile.....

I thought it was up to £50k... the bentley was £54k?
I have a 600BHP Nissan GT-R, cost less than £40k, over 200mph and 0-60 under 3 seconds, made to handle on the race track so would leave the Bentley, and most any other super cars behind... and it looks good (black edition in black)

Fast Datsun then... I have a 600BHP Nissan GT-R, cost less than £40k, over 200mph and 0-60 under 3 seconds, made to handle on the race track so would leave the Bentley, and most any other super cars behind... and it looks good (black edition in black)
I like the fact that the Bentley has the same steering wheel buttons and controls as my Skoda Superb 3.6 estate
I do like Bentleys, but I'd rather get an old school TurboR for around 12k and spend £8k getting it up to 200mph potential.
Then holiday on Necker for a week with the change
