Autobahn: Audi vs Bikes.....One for the petrol heads!!
Driving on the Autobahn between Stuttgart and Munich
1. The rear view mirror in the video is maddening.
2. The speedometer sits just above the steering wheel, a bit to the right. It gets to 278 kph (@173 mph)
3. People don't get out of the fast lanes on the autobahn any better than elsewhere.
HANG ONTO YOUR SEAT while an Audi R9 races 2 motorcycles on the Autobahn.
The Germans have three types of divided highways: limited access, freeways, and the Autobahn. All have speed limits, except some sections of the Autobahn. One is not allowed to pass on the right, which both motorcycles and the Audi did in the video. The left lane is for high speed traffic and if you want to overtake another vehicle, you flash your lights and the slower vehicle should move to the right. This will give you a Go Fast high for the day.
The Audi driver is nuts, but the guys on the bikes make him look sane.
And oddly, the female passenger is a real sport about it all.

That wasn't the German autobahn. All the signs are in Spanish (maybe Portuguese) which ties in with the language being spoken by the car driver and passenger. I didn't recognise any of the place names, so it could have been Spain, Portugal or South America. I would suspect Brazil.

Thanks for correcting the text. You're right.
I didn't check the narrative because I was simply captivated by the ride and the landscape does match my recollection of the claimed region. But it could just as well be Czechia or the Balkans.
Coming to think of it, I'm not aware of any Toll roads in Germany, at least not in 2000, the last time I was there.
None of the license plates - as far as readable - are German either.
But nevertheless, the video is exhilarating to watch.
