Did you know that "autobahn" means motorway?
Which we in the US call the expressway.

If you put a wedge front end on it maybe. I would fear driving one of these flat out anywhere. Autobahn begs for a Benz SEL or a Porsche 928 or similar.

Did you catch Jay Leno last night. He had those two guys from the new car show where they buy and flip cars in Texas. One of them set the new record for the um Ball Run from NYC to the West Coast in 31 hours in a Ferrari with 2 gas tanks, They only stopped four times for gas and exceeded 200mph several times while on the road.
