TEN FASTEST SPEEDS on the Autobahn

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/5-fastest-speeds-on-autobahn9.htm WOW.  in 1938

165 mph in a Prosche 911 on the Autobahn A4

The map showing the UNLIMITED SPEED sections Here's where the reality-show-style shockers come in, right at the end, when you least expect it. (Except that if you've seen enough of those shows, you know that there's always a twist in the last two episodes, so maybe it's actually when you most expect it.) The fastest times on the German  autobahn  weren't set yesterday, or a year ago, or even a decade ago. They were set in 1938. On the same day. By Mercedes Benz and Auto Union (which would eventually become Audi). Bernd Rosemeyer drove an Auto Union streamliner that had a mid-mounted V-16 engine, two  superchargers  and an estimated 400  horsepower  -- not too shabby even today. It was designed by Ferdinand Porsche. What the streamliner didn't have, unfortunately, was enough  downforce  to keep it planted on the road at high speed. Rosemeyer managed to hit 268.432 miles an hour (432 kilometers per hour) when word came in that the Mercedes-Be...

This dutch driver looks at different parts of the Autobahn. Here is A2 and A7

Image
Look at the polite white car that moves over at Minute 4:21 A2 ========== Now here is the A7 Only fast part is in the front of the video, minute 1.   I don't recommend the area of the autobahn near east germany.. by the way, i have a friend who wants to drive fast. legally. So I suggested that the person should fly to Germany and rent a car. here are the questions. 1. What sections of the autobahn have no speed limits? 2. what time of year is the weather dry (less rain)? My friend does not like to drive at night, but maybe that is the best time to go fast? 3. what is your experience? have you ever gone 270 kph? what car? that's like 162 mph 250 kph = 150 mph 260 kph = 156 mph 270 kph = 162 mph 280 kph = 168 290 kph = 174 mph 300 kph = 180 mph

The "co driver" view is calm and accurate

Co Driving. This is an actual experience. Start at Minute 1:10 Minute 7:34 shows the speed of the car at about 140 mph  about 230 kph at 7:44 he pulled over immediately.  PHEW! I don't see him using a turn signal. The name of the channel is "arch movies"  in Dutch guitige filmpjes He tested an A4 in March 2017 The co-drivers view: Sunday on the Autobahn The German Autobahn, subject of many discussions around the world. One say it is the ultimate road of freedom, while others claim that the freedom is curtailed by many speed limits and other traffic. On a nice sunday in may I turned the car into a camera car to give you an impression of what is going on this road of speed. An Audi A6 3.0 TDI Avant (4F / 2011) is a perfectly suitable car for the Autobahn, it has enough power to drive at high speeds (200 to 250km/h or 125 to 155mph/h) while still having a moderate fuel consumption. In this video we drive in central Germany along the Autob...

Focus on the experience, not on possible cops

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLU2z2z_kfk minute 5 you are not focusing on looking for cops you are focusing on getting around the cars in front it's so much more relaxing ========  Autobahn Speed Limits: The Need for Speed When entering the Autobahn near larger cities, a la Munich, Frankfurt, and Berlin, speed limits do apply. Depending on the urban area in which you're driving the Autobahn, the speed limits range from 80 k/ph to 130 k/ph (50mph-80mph), these regulatory speeds are in place to prevent an excess of potentially fatal car-accidents in portions of the Autobahn characterized by dangerous curves, heavy traffic, and major interchanges. As you leave the more congested areas of the Autobahn, the German government has implemented a system described as a zone of "dynamic speed limits." Here electronic signs display the speed limits and can be adjusted to reflect changes in weather, road conditions, or heavy traffic. Once you venture even fur...
