Japanese term or phrase: 高限界
The following sentence is listed as a desired (positive) attribute of a steering system.

車の向きの変わり方も、ハンドル操作に遊びがなく鈍感さ、過敏さがなく（適度な俊敏性）、一定の感じで曲がれ、高性能、高限界を予感させる。

Usually 高限界 would be something like 'high limit', but I don't think that makes any sense in this case, or at least it doesn't to me. What would 高限界 be in this case?

Thanks.

Higher performance limit
Explanation:
Like "higher performance" in front of it, "higher performance limit". That's my understanding.
In fact, to me it is another way to put "high performance".

(JYR) just for your reference.
