The low tyre pressure warning came on last week . . . a massive 1psi low on one wheel . . . that cost me a quid to pump up 
MOT failure if that's turned off though I think |
That one on mine is the more basic version that bases the tyre pressure of maths rather than having the monitors in the wheel. Not sure what it counts as too low pressure as they were well below the recommended pressures the other day (due to normal activity) and it didn't go off.

Which is why I assume it says "If the driver does not decelerate, the system will reduce the power available and make it more difficult to use the pedal." i.e. you can still do the burst of speed, but it's the sustained excess speed you can't do.
As for high performance cars, if it's based on cameras and gps, then I'd expect it turns itself off on tracks and other private locations where there isn't a limit.
On the public roads those cars would be subject to the same speed limits as everyone else.
