This driver took “flyover state” just a little bit too literally.

A woman with a need for speed was clocked doing 137 mph in the rain while driving a sleek white Ferrari 488 Spider through Iowa on Monday.

The Iowa State Patrol posted a photo of the traffic stop to Facebook showing the shockingly high speed the driver reached on the cop’s radar gauge as she was caught barreling through Mason City.

“[It’s] not a good idea to drive this fast in the rain,” police told the speed queen, who explained that she thought she was doing only “around 100 mph.”

The maximum speed limit on any Iowa road is 70 mph, so the driver, who rented the Ferrari, can face massive fines.

Hundreds of people commented on the photo, praising the cops — though some hailed the woman and accurately pointed out that the supercar, which can reach a top speed of more than 200 mph, wasn’t going nearly as fast as it could have been.

“Why’d she stop?” Jeff Lanthripp commented. “She had another couple of gears left!”
