260kph in a bmw z4 coupe (from sixt.de) going from munchen to salzburg. I want to rent a porsche next -b ut you need a really good visa card (my generic nz one won’t do the trick). My ultimate goal is to go 300 on the autobahn. I think I’ll need something with turbos or a ferrari / lambo badge to push 300 though.
The autobahn is super super fun. I did 800km in 24 hours from koln -> munich and then around the countryside.
It’s also worth rerouting your trip computer to take you across some backroads in the country too – the backroads in germany are super fun for cornering and you can usually see far enough to make it safe to hoon around.
Just don’t be an idiot and race on the autobahn when there’s lots of traffic. Go somewhere quiet and endanger only yourself.
Petrolhead heaven. :)
