The S4, which is the same weight class as an A4 can go faster easily.
Many A4 are regularly driven faster than that on German Autobahns and
nobody really has a problem with that.
The A4 is not exactly a lightweight car. It's around 1.4 metric tons?
And moreover, the same would be true for BMW's and Mercs.
I just looked it up: The Porsche 911 has around 1450 kg and nobody
would question it's ability to go way fast quite safely.
IMO there is no real relation between speed safety and weight as long
as lift and drag are figured in properly.

It does in most circumstances, otherwise it wouldn't be legal. If it
does make sense is another question.

I think your head may explode at that speed too, at least that is what
I've heard from other people.

230-240 is about 140mph init, I have hit that once or twice, and jeez you
are traveling then, I think the top speed of the 1.8T Q is 141.
I find the Audi at speeds of 100mph actually very nice to drive,
