Speedo reading for new car

[team_v]

No, I'm just currious that all.... Wondering why they have that sort of km on the car... when they claiming that it's brand new

In germany, you can actually pay extra to pick your car up from Wolfsburg with the odometer still reading 0.0km.

So it will have km's on it before it even gets here.
65 is towards the high end of reasonable but it will have to be driven and wheel aligned and all that jazz.

It's good to be given a thrashing for the first km's so long as the engine has warmed up as it beds the pistons in and stops glazing of the cylinders.

Not true, it's good to load new engines and it's good to vary the revs, it's not good to give them a flogging hot or cold. You want to bed in rings and bearings as gently as possible. I don't know a single engine builder who floggs their engines from day one.

I'm with Breaker.... that why all manufacturers recommended that we drive our new car gentle and do not over rev over the first few thousand km
