I think in real that are 320-330 km/h...

So just a bit over 200 mph...

But the car is incredible fast. Even an F430 isn't faster in acceleration...

I would not take my family on there with no speed limit. When they have accidents there they are huge. It's legal, you did I would not want any person capable or not being able to do 200 past me or my family.

I would not want to pass another vehicle with a closing speed of 150 on any road except a race course.

How many of you Guys already drove on an Autobahn?

Did you allready know that there are less accidents on the Autobahn than on the normal Streets?

Sorry but you don't know the Situation...

I work as a Project Manager and I have to drive more than 20 000 km a Year on a Autobahn mostly about 220 km/h...

You have another look at the Street when you drive on an Autobahn at this Speed. You are looking 1km in front of you and think about what could happen...

Thats what I'm thinking about this...

the accident rate is 16% less than the US interstate system but that could also be credited to the design of the road.

What is the death rate on autobahn?
In: Germany, Death Rate [Edit categories]

Throughout my studies in germany, I came to the conclusion that approximately 23,000 crashes occur each year. On average 78% of those victims die due to that fact that most are cause by the high speeds.


Looks like less accidents and may be more death when it does happen.
