Prius 2007 Weird Smell

Salam to all,
I was traveling from Peshawar to Mardan a few days ago. A car was running ahead of me in the fast lane. I gave him many dimmers to change the lane and give me the opportunity to overtake him as I have to go fast. At that time, I was driving the car at 110 km / h and I overtook him by accelerating my car more. When I reached the speed of 140 km/h, I smelled as if something was burning in the car and it might be a short circuit o r something else. When I reduced the speed of my car, I did not feel this smell.
I want to know what might be this issue and what my fellow Prius Owners will share with me.

I had the same problem with my 2010 Prius when push it above 130 it started smelling weird, it is because the engine is old and it starts burning engine oil at high speed and revs. I had to change the engine block because it was consuming engine oil very quickly.
