So I must have a sly look at his tyres next time I get another chance to see what his speed rating actually is. Although he won't have much option as it's illegal to run a tyre of a lower speed rating to that fitted as original equipment, I think I remember him mentioning in passing that they are run flats.
By coincidence my boss took delivery of a new Arteon R Shooting Brake this week. For the 13 years I have known him he has had a succession of at least four Skoda Octavia Estate vRS through a company car scheme, but now he has left that scheme.
In answer to your tyre query, his is fitted with 245/40R19 94W Pirellis.
Like Jock and Bill, I can't say it has me wanting to trade in my cars. I can think of preferable ways to spend £50k+
My boss is German and makes regular trips to visit family in Bavaria, so at least he'll occasionally get to (legally) drive at speed.
