All evidence I've read says that most cars are governed because of tire ratings. Go past the tires speed rating and they begin wearing excessively quick. So I've heard.
I did hear once that some crazy Mercedes car got airborne on the 24 hours of Le Mans or the 'ring back in the 90's. But of course this car was going about 240 mph at the time. And had way too much lift. Supposedly the driver was headed down a straight, the car turned upside down and landed that way in a tree-top. He lived with minor injuries. Read that in Car and Driver a while back.
