Two men have been arrested after a driver filmed himself speeding along a motorway at more than 200mph in a suspected stolen car.
Sussex police launched an investigation after "horrifying" mobile phone footage was circulated online in May, showing an Audi R6 driving at 201 mph on a near-empty M23 near Gatwick airport.
Officers seized the car and later arrested two suspects.
A 38-year-old man, from Crawley in Sussex, was held on suspicion of dangerous driving, while another 38-year-old, from nearby Horsham, was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and aggravated vehicle taking.
Both men have been released pending further enquiries.
Chief Inspector Michael Hodder, of the Surrey and Sussex Roads Policing Unit, said: “As part of this complex investigation, we have pursued a number of lines of enquiry which has led to the arrest of two suspects.
"Speeding is one of the four most common causes of fatal and serious injury collisions, and we will not tolerate these offences on our roads.
“While the vast majority of motorists stay within the speed limits, there is a small minority who put themselves and others at risk. There is no excuse for speeding at any time, and we will actively investigate any offences committed.”
Anyone who has any further information is asked to contact police, or to report it via Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online.
