85mph = ~136.8km/h (motorways in Italy, among other countries, have speed limits of 130km/h)
although, however, "Legal provisions allow operators to set the limit to 150 km/h (93 mph) on their concessions on a voluntary basis if these conditions are met: three lanes in each direction and a working SICVE, or Safety Tutor, speed-camera system." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostrade_of_Italy
