English term or phrase: Top speed
Can anybody think of anything else besides: Höchstgeschwindigkeit?

I need a shorter translation. This is in the context of monitoring driving characteristics such as hard brakes, rapic accels, idle time and top speed.

The size of the UI on a mobile device is limited and I am looking for shorter words.

Topspeed


Explanation:
Im deutschen Fachjargon - in einem Wort - durchaus üblich.
Kleines Problem: Für viele maskulin, für manche feminin. Aber deine zitierte Aufzählung ist ja ohne Artikel.

neutral  BrigitteHilgner: Wozu Übersetzer beschäftigen, wenn die doch nur Worte in der Ausgangssprache stehen lassen? Wie die anderen Beiträge zeigen, ist eine deutschsprachige Lösung durchaus möglich.

top speed
Höchstgeschwindigkeit, Spitzengeschwindigkeit


Explanation:
Im Rennjargon wird oft einfach auch von 'Top Speed' (überraschenderweise im Maskulinum) gesprochen. Häufiger hört man auch mal 'Geschwindigkeitsspitzen'.

Reference: Vmax

Reference information:
Um die neue Geschwindigkeit zu ermitteln, machen wir es besonders einfach, da wir ja mindestens eine Angabe mit Vmax und der passenden Leistung kennen und nur eine Anpassung auf der Basis der physikalischen Zusammenhänge durchführen müssen - die ich später noch erläutern werde.
