2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 Hits 170 MPH on Autobahn

For many Americans, the Autobahn represents an alluring fantasy: a highway where drivers can just hop on and go as fast as they want. In reality, the German highway system does have speed limit restrictions in certain areas. That said, drivers can and do push their cars to the limit where it is legal to do so, and automotive outlets often get in on the action too, which is why we now have video of a 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 going quite fast on the famed highway.

There really is no ambiguity as to what happened in this video. A helmet cam got attached to the driver, who walked around the Mustang Shelby GT350 before getting in and driving right onto the highway, making one attempt at a top speed run before trying again, with the second result likely yielding the desired results. On this particular section of the Autobahn, there is apparently no speed restriction in place, and fortunately for the driver, traffic seemed pretty light.
