Nel 1938 la Mercedes-Benz W125 Rekordwagen ha colpito 432,7 km/h, la velocità più veloce di sempre ufficialmente temporanea su una strada pubblica fino a battuta nel 2017. Il record è stato stabilito dal conducente Rudolf Caracciola sul Reichs-Autobahn A5 tra Francoforte e Darmstadt. L’auto è in mostra nel museo di Stoccarda

Wild. 432.7 km/h witnessed by people who grew up riding horses and carriages.
It’s all nice and cool but the car as a means of transport has been a net negative in my opinion. What it did to cities with highways and roads cutting through neighborhoods and creating less space for the pedestrian, especially when we went full American. So it was promoted as a means for freedom, but it actually reduced living quality and living space. Thankfully the car is now making a retreat again, at least to some extent.
that’s some sci-fi automobile, alright.
And he didn’t even got a ticket
thought that was a weird computer mouse for a second
Yeah I’m not surprised it was done on that exact strip between Frankfurt and Darmstadt. That has got to be one of the longest completely straight strip of the Autobahn I’ve ever seen. Nowadays it also has 4 (or was it 5?) lanes on each side so it’s also crazy wide.
Even today you can safely drive very high speeds there because it’s literally kilometers of straight road with many lanes.
Bait. It was not even on this day.
That’s fucking INSANE. Got goosebumps thinking about it.
How was it only broken so recently? fear?
It’s a propagandist approach for a company that aided the nazis and helped start world war 2 and the holocaust.
We did nazi that car it was so fast
What’s the bet this guy was in the Nazi party?
Interesting, how the aerodynamic body design stands today? It would be interesting to test the model in some CFD simulator.
Imagine where Germany could be today if they had not started WW2?
First moon landing in the 1950s probably, a highly modern automated society in our days…they must have lost 100 years of development because of the crazies.
Insane, who broke the record in 2017?
Really good Autobahn if there is no Baustelle as always 😂
