Hold My Beer, Bugatti. These Autobahn Runs are INSANE
by AutoExpert | 22 April, 2024
So, we all know the autobahn's this legendary speed freak's paradise, right? Turns out the craziest stories are true. But here's the thing: it's not about fancy new supercars.
Let's run down the list, top to bottom, because it gets NUTS:
Corvette ZR1 – Yeah, the 'Vette cracks 190mph, which is epic. But it's the ONLY American car on here. Kinda sad, honestly...
Lambo Aventador – Flashy, loud, but barely hits 200mph? Reporter probably got stuck in traffic, the poor guy.
Tuned-Up Porsches – They're everywhere. Fast as hell, but kinda predictable, y'know?
THE Bugatti Veyron – Now, this SHOULD be #1. But turns out there's a dude with a camera doing 220mph in one, probably with fake police lights to get people outta the way. Cheater.
Okay, now it gets weird:
Another Porsche (Yawn) – Okay, whatever. Hit 236mph in broad daylight, but who cares? Next...
Wait... 1938?!? – Here's where my brain exploded. Turns out the top TWO speeds were set back when Hitler was in charge. No traffic, custom race cars, totally reckless.
The Guy Who DIED – This dude hit 268mph in a freakin' V-16 monster. Then wanted to go FASTER, got blown off the road...
The Winner (Kinda) – Mercedes-Benz, barely beating his rival by HALF a mile per hour. That's a grudge match for the ages.
So, What's the Point?
The autobahn ain't what you think. Yeah, modern cars can get crazy speeds, but it's more about guts than tech. Those old-timers were straight-up fearless. Makes me wanna find one of those old tracks, just to see what it feels like...
