How Fast Is Autobahn (unlimited)?

Many autobahn sections in Germany have no speed limit. Recommended cruise speed is 130 km/h, but drivers regularly cruise at 180 km/h or more. About 44% of the autobahn network has no speed restriction at all — unique in the developed world.

The autobahn was originally designed as straight as possible to allow military aircraft to land on it during WWII — a feature that still affects modern road layout.
