M5 Touring with 750 horses doing 350km/h+ on the autobahn

driving at those speeds at night isnt very smart - you'd be outdriving the range of your headlights

When is driving at 359km/h on a public road is ever good idea?

Anyway, this thread isn't about chatter.

359km/h is proportionately the same as 160km/h in a MK1 with standard headlights, judging by that video.

I know what that's like... It's like putting cataracts on you headlights and then black out tape.

I was at the Bathurst 12 hour all weekend. The works Audi R8 V10s totally dominated it - started on front row and pretty much led from start t finish. The winning car was matte black and driven by Marc Basseng, Daryll O'Young and Chris Mies.

So spectacular across the top of the mountain, waaaay faster than a V8 Supercar through all the flowing parts... just not Conrod/Mountain straight. It's close though - Lowndes' fastest race lap in the Bathurst 1000 last year was 2:08.8845. He did a 2:09.0861 in the Audi R8 yesterday, remarkable considering it was his first race in the Audi and that the cars have had no development compared to a decade of V8 Supercar evolution.

Anyway, here's a pic I shot of the winning car at dawn.



It's definitely relevant to this thread, the cars, team and drivers were very inspiring indeed.

More proof that our public transport isn't up to scratch.
Wait for it....
