160 MPH ON THE GERMAN AUTOBAHN - American's First Impressions

160 MPH ON THE GERMAN AUTOBAHN - American's First Impressions
This was our first time in Germany... and fortunately for us, our friend picked us up in his Porsche and took us for a ride on the German Autobahn. As soon as we found a strip with no speed limit he let it rip and hit nearly 260 km/h which is about 160 mph!

Mark you captured such beautiful views. I was amazed at that triangle view of 3 countries so cool. Thank you for sharing your beautiful travel videos. Stay safe.

[@macgyce7376]

Your comment is 2 weeks old, but there might be some misunderstanding between mph and kph; 200 mph is very unusual. should be 200 kph = 125mph

[@janboterletter1398]

The video shows quite well the common practice on the autobahn: going very fast is mainly to have some fun but as you see most traffic (though on average a bit faster than other contries) goes much slower and regularly blocks your left lane. And there are zillions of roadworks slowing you down. So unless the road is really very calm like in evening, doing these 'fast sprints' in between on average don't really reduce your travel time. But still its cool to do. BTW, Badenweiler sounds familiar, don't they have a prussian march named after it..?

Badenweiler ist a spa town, and an old one. Checked WP to confirm my vague memories, and found out that Anton Chekhov died there even.

[@247.mp4]

There are some unwritten rules like: If theres a porsche coming behind you you have no right to stay on the left lane.
