    Keep in mind that 300 km/h means you are covering roughly 273 ft per second.

    The camera they were using might only be recording 8-12 frames per second, compared to 25-30 frames for a normal video camera depending on it's output format. That could also play a role in the quality of the video.

    Either way, unless those cars he was passing were literally parked he was moving extremely fast.

    I thought the same thing too but the engine note sounds like its atr a normal pace, and the car slows down when the note drops. Definately not a 360!! :D
    Looks like waaaay over 300. I reckon 340 at least.

    Just because it's not recording at 30fps or whatever, doesn't mean that the audio wouldn't be constant.

    yep, it's a lot easier to record clean, constant audio compared to silky smooth frame rate with high detail

    Sounds like someone is calling him.


    Either way I think he should be stripped for his Enzo and put in jail for a loooong time.

    Looked perfectly safe to me. Straight, smooth, wide road, not much traffic...

    Hmm, yet again the talk is of a yellow Enzo doing enormous speed. I wonder if it's the same one from the Gumball.
    If not, then I'm glad there are at least two yellow Enzo owners willing to give them a bit of stick. ;)

    In the words of Kim Schmitz:

    "This is Gumball speed.... muhahahaha!"

    Doing that speed on a public road with other traffic ISN'T at all safe, in fact it's downright dangerous. The same applies for taking a car out on a trackday or hillclimb. Or crossing a road. So I say f*ck it, you only live once! :D
    Could be the same Enzo, but I'm sure more than one of the twenty-something (?) Yellow Enzo owners have been seduced by an autobahn :D

    Yeah you only live once.

    So does the family with kids in their Mondeo overtaking a slower truck when you come up from behind with 300+ Km/h in your Enzo.

    It's pretty sad to drive that fast on a public road, unless it has been closed down or something.

    i m feel two opinions watching this video

    1-Fantastic car, great pilot, seems unrealist, Ferrari for ever.

    2-irresponsable show on the highway at this speed....used circuit they
    builded for that. Highways are not made for satisfied your Ego.

    That's most likely the same Enzo from the Gumball (from the co-driver answering).

    He was definitely flying, and it looked perfectly safe to me. Great visibility, perfect road conditions, he passed what? 3-4 cars?. There is this belief that once you drive over the speed limit, cars (preferably filled with families) randomly appear in front of you. The fact is, on a highway, cars can come in/out only at exits. If you can see for 4 miles, there's no exit and a total of 3 cars, then that's it, a minivan filled with 5 kids will not appear in front of you just because you're going 150mph.

    Assuming he was doing 300km/h, he drove 4km, and passed 6 cars. On 2.5 miles! That almost zero traffic, thus near-zero chance to have all 3 lanes occupied at once (assuming the driver would be too blind to notice and slow down anyways)

    There aren't many tracks that will allow you to get to 350km/h+ anyways.

    I wouldn't have wanted to get caught, though. Yikes!

    This video just shows that if you think about it for a second, the autobahn makes perfect sense. Deserted highway, perfect conditions, cover some distance. No biggie.

    Exactly!!

    "What if".. a car was driving in front of the truck, and was swinging out the second the Enzo come up to the truck.

    A lot can happen at that speed. I have "almost" been there :-s
