At least my insurance companies here in Italy don't ask for any data that they can use to discern this- they look for:
Model/Make/Model Year/Engine Size/Engine Type
Registered Drivers (if applicable)
Date of Registration
In any event- in Italy now there are so many speed cameras everywhere the only place I can see this even remotely being relevant is on the track and then the insurance purchased at least from our vendors is not valid anyway- you buy special insurance from the track that at least usually at the main venues is included in your rental time- and I am too old now for the track anymore anyway

In Germany the (self imposed) 250 kmph limit applies to regular cars, only certain sportscar types get no limit, Porsche is one of them.

The offer seems to remain as an ongoing feature as it is being highlighted in the current issue of Porsche Germany customer magazine 'Christophorus'.

Next week, I'll be flying 747-8 from ORD to FRA in F then lay over in FCT for 6 hours (arriving at 7.30am and depart at 1.35pm) to continue on 747-400 from FRA to NRT in F.
Any tips on how should I manage the time? this is my first time in FCT and I have confirmed porsche reservation. Is it true that they saved the route in the GPS?

The weather was kinda crappy when I was there this past thurs for my 5.5hr layover (cold and rainy with snow in higher elevations where you would want to drive)..didnt want to drive a $$$ Porsche in that lol.. I ended up hanging in the F terminal for a bit then leaving and taking a train downtown to walk around a bit..I then came back to the F terminal to eat and relax then took the Cayenne S on the tarmac to my flight.

So FYI for internet reservation you apparently need at least 48 hours advance booking... and the number on the offer page( +49 6171 68 13770) doesn't seem to get answered....
So I'm going to show up tomorrow morning and see if they have a car for me... fingers crossed...

Unrelated, but I wouldn't worry. There isn't a day in the last 10 years, I don't wonder what it would be like to be 23 again. Soak it up.

My experience on the A5 between FRA and near Worms lately is that the traffic during the day is not often conducive to a great high-speed driving experience.

No, and since you'll have to find the FCT on foot anyway, why not stop at FCL for bfast, then go to avis (which would be pretty much along the way from your arrival to FCT) and afterwards drop the car at the FCT?

Exactly what I did a few months ago. However, I couldn't find the entrance to the FCT upstairs so the LH personal assistant came with me and drove it around the terminal to the upstairs entrance where the Sixt guy took over.
