My understanding is that all Murcielagos are rated at 205+mph top speed by Lamborgini (even the 572 hp version). They won't provide false ratings--for a company like Lamborgini, too much to lose if the specs are proven to be false. If the magazine couldn't do it, the car might not have been running optimally or wind/road conditions got in the way.
