That is because the top gear is usually very long and the change in speed tends to be a lot slower the closer you get to the redline in that gear. In that case, you need a lot of distance to reach the top speed.

The KOENIGSEGG AGERA RS set the speed record on an 11 mile stretch of highway. You need the distance to get up to speed and the the distance to stop.
