The pattern is full...

I do over 320 kph (speedo reading) almost every weekend on a public road (Autobahn), no helmet. Smiley Smiley

Such marketing videos work only in speed limited countries. Smiley

For how long can someone maintain such speeds? Given the volume of  traffic and a general sense of risk -free or even low risk driving.

I suppose it is not easy to find a deserted Autobahn and perfect road conditions very often..

"Porsche....and Nothing else matters"

 

To drive these speeds "safely", you cannot have traffic around. Meaning: I pass single cars at this speed but not cars driving one after each other (more than one car) because I am afraid they could change the lane. Lately, I actually drive over 280 only, if there is no other car around.

I can do "safely" 240-280 in normal traffic but again, I do not pass at these speeds if there is more than one car on the lane I pass. Usually I keep it under 220 or so when I pass but I am very very cautious and concentrated, just in case. 

Our normal cruising speed on the Autobahn is 160-180 kph, maybe close to 200 kph sometimes. 

As to how long I can drive over 300 kph on the Autobahn? Well...this is an issue. I am lucky if I can reach over 330 (speedo) in my Performante before I have to brake again. I once did 337 kph (speedo) for maybe a couple of seconds but this happens very very rare, usually almost impossible.

I do not drive these very high speeds at night (many actually drive that fast mostly at night) because it is too dangerous. Yes, there is less traffic but just imagine an animal (a small cat can already cause disaster at over 300 kph) or maybe a stone or whatever. At that speed... Smiley Only daytime.

Best time to drive these speeds in Germany: Early Sunday mornings. Just make sure you choose an Autobahn with no known wild animals crossing. You don't want to hit a deer at 300 kph. Smiley 

Also very important: Tire pressure! The car needs to be in perfect technical condition as well.
