If you are only driving in cities and in traffic jams, then a 50km/h car would be plenty sufficient. I don’t think anyone drives over 250km/h in these things, even in Germany. Most countires have much lower speed limits anyways.

Don't challenge them any more than they already do themselves...
Just search "300 kph on autobahn" gives too many results like this dude: https://youtu.be/7pg1hhW5qhM?si=KzGOg-myiyaMRw60

Why is he driving in 2 lanes, and taking his hands off the wheel? Also, I don't understand why he is rapidly slowing down in the fast lane. Is he brain dead?

people with AMGs and BMW Ms drive that on the autobahn.

They don’t, it’s for track driving and racing as a hobby

Physics hardly slows you down if you go fast enough.

Even if they could go 407 km/h all the time they would have to change tires more often than filling the gas tank
