If possible, please identify the make and model on the blur that passes this guy on the freeway. 140kph is only about 87mph (160kph = 100mph).

Black Chevy Corvette.

Pause the vid @ 0:01

It is definetely a Corvette, and with the speed in mind I would say it is a ZR1, probably modified if it really was 250mph.

@james:
that happened in germany (you can tell by the road signs and the license plate of the passat)
so he was acting strictly legal.. maybe a little bit careless but still legal..

Definitely a Corvette.  By the body work it's a Z06 at the least, possibly a ZR1.  Stop the vid at 0.3 sec and you can see the front end in the rear mirror of the passed car.  The car is also probably doing about 180mph given the speed of the passed car, and doing a bunch of conversions (get James May to explain).

It's Km/h, not MPH.
#12 Post by James May, on Mon Dec 13 2010 12:28 AM
100% ZR1

250 KMH = 160 ish MPH

probably still had a gear left

It actually kind of looks like an Acura NSX but my first thought was Corvette

yeah fallas, the german autobahn... we are not known as the most sexy country in the world - but we can go fast as we can ;)

@james (not may):
Driving fast may be dangerous in other countries, but in germany it's not that bad...
People who drive on the german autobahn mostly know the game and keep the most important rule in their mind: if you can see another car in the mirror, estimate its speed because it could be doing 409 km/h, then switch lanes.
Plus we learn to drive fast from the beginning, we have to take a couple of driving lessons on the autobahn and at night. I've never heard of a driving intructor who didn't at least once hit 180 km/h with his student...
The fun really starts at 200 km/h
@everyone else:
Agree, it's a Corvette I'm guessing a Z06
I doubt he's really doing 400 km/h probably more like 320 km/h

A Vette. Likely a Z06.

The guy who said 'Supra' should be forced to live by himself on an island in the Pacific eating nothing but monkey shit.

Its like that scene from Redline where the driver passes the cop so fast that he thinks his radar gun is broken.  But it definitely looked like a Corvette
#22 Post by jorge, on Wed Dec 15 2010 8:12 AM
A corvette zr1. if you look at the image of the 'vette in the side view mirror you notice that front bumper has larger intakes than the z06 on the right and left.

Bugatti Veyron

lol @ bugatti veyron.

Its a corvette going nowhere near 250mph.
#25 Post by Timo Gronwald, on Mon Dec 20 2010 4:3 AM
Like many people said before: It probably between 250 and 300 km/h which is around 150-180 mp/h.
And secondly calm down guys, yes it is legally possible on certain Autobahn strechtes in Germany. And since you find that any day it is not unsafe by default, but I would agree a little careless as it looks like.
And for all your information: Usual travelling speed on a German Autobahn is around 130 km/h (80mp/h), usual fastest speed is normally up to 200 km/h (120 mp/h), only single cars drive as fast as 250 km/h. Anything faster is very unusual, but not forbidden on certain stretches if traffic allows it.
