Aren't all top category (or second tier) cars in recent history primarily top speed limited by very short gearing? In what way other than mandating shorter ratios or a electronic limiter could they reduce the top speed and how would that save costs?
Only logical reason behind that i see reducing costs is maybe that engines are less on the limit and therefore there is less wear maybe?
