This answers the old question of “Why building a car that goess 200km/h if you can only drive up to a 100km/h?”. FifthGear takes an Audi S6 to the test on Germany’s Autobahn where there is no speed limits. Is the Autobahn a myth or can you REALLY drive as fast as you want in Germany? VIDEO->

but thanks for loving germaqny for its freedom on the roads.

2-18-2007 in 08:22:25 at 72.139.39.79Ya the clip must be pretty funny for a German, here in North America we dream of highways with no speed limit.

2-18-2007 in 14:27:20 at 80.218.141.212There is actually a distance minimum between cars. AND there is a reason for it. Great thinking there fifth gear. That’s really what we need in germany. more idiots on the road!

2-18-2007 in 16:28:22 at 80.186.117.239I just want to point out that his top speed was 155 MILES per hour, not kilometers. 155 mph equals 249 km/h which isn’t that far from 270 so I see no reason to laugh. And the whole point of this wasn’t to make a world record but to test if you can really go as fast as your car can go on a public high way.

2-18-2007 in 20:31:03 at 203.111.237.20hahahah there is no speed limit in the philippines….but good luck finding a freeway! to us… a clear long streched and narrow road is a freeway! Godspeed! we can run full speed passing over a car going the opposit way in less than a meter..try that Germany!…ive been to the autobahn last year but the tourbus i was riding was restricted to cruise at 100 kmph…damn LOL

2-19-2007 in 08:08:31 at 84.141.42.148I know that 155 mp/h is 249km/h but if you are used to cars drive that fast it is weird to see a show only trying to do what some people are doing daily…but i understand your objection ALEX.

2-21-2007 in 20:54:34 at 76.17.125.178I agree thats not that fast I’ve been that fast state side (illegal: yes)
I will say the roads, and all other transportation are quite superior to us in the USA
last time I was in Germany I was told “if you get in a car crash above the suggested speed your insurance doesn’t pay”. Is this right?
Gordon said,
2-24-2007 in 08:48:57 at 84.141.53.202Yes that is right your inxureance dosn’t pay if you were above the speed limit …but if there are no speed limits then it is alway your fault …you could have driven slower.

too fast said,
4-9-2008 in 23:37:24 at 65.54.154.26a veyron does 265mph it could easily do 300mph with a differential change what about turbo upgrades and more speed i dont have a veyron or anything close but i want to get kicked out of germany for going too fast how fast would i have to go
veyron more aerodynamic turbo upgrade nos gear ratio adjustments how fast 300mph 350mph 400mph
can you go too fast for the autobahn
i am never going to do this its just a thought i had but i will go 230mph if i can get to it in america so i wont be far from a bugatti
gto 6.0 800hp? nos 6spd maybe the mercedes 8spd differential and a roll cage cause it’ll make my car look cool it’ll be one less thing for the cops to bitch about when i get caught by a fighter jet
too fast said,
4-9-2008 in 23:40:02 at 65.54.154.26does doing 300mph get a free bj from a chick in the passenger seat? just wondering cause that’ll make it better than doing 230

2-18-2007 in 06:12:24 at 84.159.155.164You can really drive 400km/h on german highways if there´s no limit set (i`m from south germany where the Porsche and Mercedes Benz cars are made).
Maybe that will change because of global warming prevention.
