Realistically you didn't hit more than 155 mph. Everything higher than that in an electronically limited car (almost always 155 mph / 250 km/h and certainly in this case) is simply the inaccuracy of the speedometer.

Rest in peace, Karl.

I'll just leave this one here.

If your roll cage gives in, you're mincemeat anyway. That law is genuinely retarded.

Admittedly, for long-ish distance travel within Switzerland, the train is actually the better choice. I didn't expect that, but it really turned out to be when I went there last year.

4-point belts and the roll cage are removed for safety reasons? What the hell? They're safety upgrades, after all.

Such points system do exist in Europe. In fact, Germany just revised its points system... for no reason at all. The only real change is that there are less points you need to collect before your licence is history. I can see this seriously hurting the drivers who rack up 40,000-60,000 miles a year at work - you're…

Please tell me how other monotheistic cults differ from that one characteristically. Same thing for your comment, by the way. Keep this rubbish out of Jalopnik, this is a cross-cultural and international car site and should continue to be exactly that. Greetings from Germany.

That's Class 1 DTM - these cars were absolutely high-tech as well, you better don't underestimate the downforce of these monsters. ;)

You should try it on the roads leading into and out of the upper Fils valley and some of the country roads up on the Swabian Jura. Here's how you reach what I consider the best roads:

Different car! Do you see the bulge on the hood? That's because that one is not equipped with its original 2.5 liter F1 engine that required a poisonous mix of fuel, but with the 3.0 liter engine of the 300 SLR. It's Mercedes-Benz's public demonstration W196.

It's a different car. Do you see the bulge on the hood? That's because Mercedes-Benz stuffed the 3-liter version of the engine found in the 300 SLR into it. It's their car for public demonstrations. The original 2.5 liter engine of the F1 car requires a poisonous mix of fuel, hence Mercedes-Benz put in the bigger 300…

It's a sedan until you call their marketing department. 4 door "coupés" (they are not coupés as they have a B-pillar, as you all know, just fastback sedans) are an excuse to produce a 4 door sedan that will have every rear passenger hit his head against the roof in (at least in BMWs case) and charge the customers…

Unfortunately, Tatas are complete and total rubbish. I visited their stand at the Geneva Motor Show last year with a few friends and examined a few of their vehicles. The design, build quality and materials were abysmal. Roof storage along the entire length? Hell yeah, but you cannot even access the rear 50% of them…

Last year, the weather was rubbish. It rained by the time the fast cars were going for it.

It's absolutely impossible to get another seat in there without making it substantially much bigger. I already took a seat in an XL1 at a recent auto show in Stuttgart. They mounted the passenger seat further behind the drivers seat because they were able to save width that way. The passenger collides with the roof…

The XL1 will never earn VW money, it's their eco-halo car. It's a custom design, carbon monocoque with removable front and rear subframes.

The spirit of David Purley (may he rest in peace) may want to have a word with you regarding that example, even though I generally agree with you.

Well, when you're hit by another vehicle, even a bicycle or motorbike, you're mincemeat anyway as the rider or the bike will bend your back over the engine if you t-bone them - might as well leave off that helmet if you're never exceeding 30 mph... When you go up to 55, though, it's probably not the worst idea in the…
