very short clip, and rather boring... though the car does touch 300 kmh on the speedo briefly.

wasn't that boring from the driver's seat though!

Thanks for sharing. That road is pretty bumpy though when doing 300 km/h.
Btw, how strict is the police in your country (or is there no speed limit)?

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

300 kmph = 186.41 mph.

BTW, has the RT12 landed or is it still in Pfaffenhausen?

We need to see a vid like this with the RT12 as the main character.

but yes, the PCCB's do work quite well on the track

there are very few stretches of road in my country where you can do something like this. and unfortunately our road quality pales in comparison to the autobahn.

there IS one other road that is straighter, smoother and far longer, where you could sustain speeds above 300kmh for a several seconds at a time. BUT it is a highly travelled road with many more uncontrollable variables compared to this elevated, limited access highway in the video.

the speed limit is actually 60mph/100kmh. but on at 6AM on a Sunday morning, the cops are still in bed.

and to be honest, they have grown accustomed to supercars stretching their legs like this very early on weekends, when there is no traffic around, and seem to look the other way. every once in a (rare) while, they'll nab you at the exit, but a $10 "fine" is usually all it will take to be on your way...

heheeh! my cousin who was visiting for the holidays was in the car, and asked me what was the best sports car i'd tried. i was babbling inanely, and i thought that would ruin the video, so i had to cover it up until I shut up!

The video itself wasn't terribly entertaining but that looks like tons of fun... though as others have said, a bit risky with all of those bumps. Thanks for sharing.

agree. straightline videos are generally unexciting, as watching it on a screen doesn't give you the sensation of speed.

and if the video WAS exciting due to avoiding much slower moving cars or weaving in and out of traffic, then it would be simply dangerous and needlessly more risky than such runs already are.

but i guess we do these straightline runs to verify manufacturer claims. yes, all in the name of research!
