I believe it. We just filmed a classic BMW 3.0 CSL going 200 kph - and this is now a 45-year-old car!

We caught the new BMW X6 (G06) as a test mule on the Autobahn. Does anyone know why it is still driving around camouflaged? I thought it came our last year. What are they still testing?

So the unrestricted parts are still unrestricted at night?

Ran a '92 Maxima at 125MPH in Dallas (I was in college). Wouldn't do it again.

Yes - there is no general speed limit at night. Electronic signs may change based on driving conditions, but night time is often the best to test the top speed of a car, as there is less traffic,
