I suppose that's when telephone poles look like a picket fence.

Why even have a Chiron and 305 million in the bank and access to an autobahn if you're just going to get your hand slapped by the Bundesverkehrsministerium?

I don't think it's actually his autobahn. Parts of it maybe, but not the whole thing.

This one hit 304MPH on a closed test track

You're probably right. I've revised my post. ;)

Autobahn or not, those speeds when other vehicles are on the same road :rolleyes:
What an FF'ing idiot.
He should lose his license for a loooong time.

To suddenly accelerate from 200-400 kph is epic, you win!

Thank you Germany for such a road!

I expected a deer to jump out any time.:eek:

And then there is LA.....:rolleyes:

I guess at that speed there's no need to check your rearview mirror since there's virtually zero chance of anyone wanting to pass.

Yikes... The fastest I've gone is about 140 MPH (on a track) and that was plenty fast enough!

Hopefully, the driver of the car is OK.

I suppose the other "good" news is that the motorcyclist probably didn't feel much/any pain (or not for long), and now we don't have to worry about court costs, time or repeat stupidity.

watching the video of 417K made my heart start racing..... hard to believe how calm the car appeared.....

Thieving Motorcyclist..... no law enforcement strategy would have prevented that outcome.......

I can see your point but there's a part of me that likes that there's still a road like this. There was some talk about introducing an upper limit on the Autobahn but as far as I know that hasn't happened.

Here's the further reading about the video posted in the OP. Radim Passer the owner/driver is a Czech tycoon.

Suspect he wasn't that good with learning lessons anyways.

I like the no speed limit as much as the next guy.
But behaviour like this: extreme speeds, possibly endangering other drivers, filming it and boasting, will only ensure that someone will be trying to end the no limit stretches of autobahn that we still have.

He’s a multimillionaire, he can hire a closed circuit for the day. Bugatti will gladly help hem with that.
No, this assclown does it on an open stretch of public road.
Idiot.

Wonder if he even had time for a final "Oh Fuch" moment.....

As I said I can see your point. The speed difference between cars is a huge factor in accidents.

Some time ago from Top Gear: Ferrari was selling a car that they kept after purchase (It wasn't road legal) but if you wanted to drive it you had to arrange it with Ferrari. They would check, service then transport the car to a closed circuit for you and then place it back for storage once you were finished for the day... The ultimate toy!
