Who or what is this "she" that can do 90 miles an hour? A ship? Not a human being I suppose?

Perhaps more likely a land vehicle, since it's "miles per hour" and not "knots."

That's what I thought. So many translations are wrong, e.g. in German and in Esperanto „car” is neutral. not female.

In English, vehicles such as ships can be referred to affectionately as “she”, can’t they?
Maybe there isn’t that equivalent in other languages

English doesn’t have genders for nouns, and in Spanish car is masculine
