Standard is showing up to 320 km/h, corresponding to 200 mph, this is already optimistic enough. And it would take some courage as well :-)

I guess even the original Jota, would have trouble exceeding the 200 mhp.

Correct.

This is nothing more than a creation of someone's optimistic imagination.

Excited kids in parking lot - "What is it? How fast does it go?"
Me - "Look at the speedometer"
Kids - "OMG, 320 miles per hour!"
Me - grin

Kids??? I have adults say that.... and then still not believe me when i tell
them it's not mph! It's cute with a kids imagination but when it's an adult then "stupid"
comes to mind.

Here are a couple of photos of a 1970 P400S. These photos were taken at the Amelia Island Concours in 2006.

I apologize for the poor quality, they were taken with a cell phone camera.
