Fast cars. German Autobahn, Speed Limits and Car Testing  

Fast Cars

"Fast Car" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman which won a Grammy Award. Fast cars also runs in the blood of many youngsters including my two sons. Currently the fastest production car is the SSC Ultimate Aero TT which was verified by the Guinness World Records on October 9, 2007. SSC Aero is built by Shelby Super Cars of the United States of America. The SSC Ultimate Aero TT is a high performance limited edition mid-engine car which have achieve the fastest recorded speed of 413 kilometer per hour or 257 miles per hour to get into the Guinness Book of World Records.

Ferrari too once held the title of the fastest production car three times, once in 1955 with the Ferrari 410 Superamerica, once in 1962 with the Ferrari 250 GTO, once more 1984 with the Ferrari 288 GTO and the most recent one in 1987 with the Ferrari F40.

German Autobahn and the speed limit

Your mouth may drip saliva at the though to testing fast cars mentioned above, however you will not be able to test its top speed. Those fast cars all have top speed way above the highest speed limits in the roads of almost every country in the world. The only exception I know is Germany. The German autobahn do not impose a speed limit although there is a recommended speed of the German autobahn is 130 kilometer per hour or 81 miles per hour. So if you want to sit behind the steering wheels of the fast cars and push them to its limit, you will have to do it on the German autobahn.
