Chapter 428 No speed limit on German highways?
Diane obviously knew the good news. She didn't say anything, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face. Tom was a little confused.
Why did Xiao Peng ask Diane to come? He spent a fortune buying horse bones and winning people's hearts.
People do different things in different environments, and Xiao Peng is starting to act like a boss. A purely nice guy can't be a boss.
The departure of Bruch and Deborah was indeed infuriating. Xiao Peng wanted to kick everyone out, but he couldn't do that. Otherwise, he would have to recruit a new group of people and start over. Walter should have taught them a lesson, but he also understood the principle of giving a slap in the face and then giving a sweet date.
Men with families have stronger endurance and will not run away!
After dinner, they set out on their journey again.
However, due to the rain, the next journey was not easy. Many roads were impassable due to the heavy rain. Fortunately, Walter was familiar with the nearby roads. After making a few detours, the car got on the highway and then it was possible to drive.
As they entered the highway, a Mercedes-Benz sports car rushed past them at high speed. They only heard a buzzing sound, and soon even the taillights could not be seen.
Xiao Peng whistled when he saw this scene: "The German highways have no speed limit, they really are not kidding!"
Fabian blinked and said, "Xiao, how about we drive our own cars and compete for speed here?"
There is a garage at the bottom of the RV, and both cars are parked inside.
"Boss, I suggest you don't do this." Walter said, "It just rained and the road is too slippery to drive at a safe speed. The driver of the car just now was an idiot! You may lose your life if you drive like this!"
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Of course, my life is so precious that I can't do such an idiotic thing like Fabian!"
Fabian protested, "Hey, I was just making a suggestion!"
Walter continued, "And German highways don't have unlimited speeds. The speed limit on this section of road is 120 km/h. The car just now was probably going over 70 km/h, which means a 600-euro fine and a three-month license suspension. Poor guy. He'll be crying when the police find him."
Xiao Peng handed Walter a cigarette and said, "Is there still a speed limit here? I heard that there is no speed limit on German highways. Isn't Germany the last bastion against speed limits in all of Europe?"
Walter waved his hand and said, "I can't smoke. There are cameras everywhere. If you smoke or talk on the phone while driving, you will be caught. But boss, you are wrong. Not all German highways have no speed limit. About one-third of the highways have long-term speed limits, and about 15% of the sections have speed limits due to road construction, weather and other reasons. So nearly half of our country's highways have speed limits. Even if there are no speed limits, no one drives too fast. The recommended speed limit for our country's highways is 130 kilometers per hour. Even on highways with no speed limit, not many cars exceed this speed. Not all cars can go that fast, right?"
Xiao Peng looked disappointed after hearing this: "When I was in China, many people envied Germany's autobahns, saying that they had no speed limit. But after traveling to several countries in Europe, I realized that only Germany had no speed limit. I wanted to come here and experience the excitement."
Walter said: "Boss, if you really want to enjoy your car, I still suggest you go to the racetrack instead of on the road here. The safety factor of this behavior is very low."
Xiao Peng lit a cigarette and said, "Walter, you really don't know. Many people in our country envy the German autobahn. Our domestic autobahns generally have a speed limit of 110, which people complain about as 'not speedy autobahns.'"
Fabian asked curiously, "It's pretty much the same in most countries. You know the speed limit on provincial roads in France is 80, and the speed limit on highways has been reduced from 130 to 110. This is the safest speed."
"I know, but people back home don't! Many people think foreign highways are just for fun. Oh, and I also read an article titled 'Shocking! German highways render Chinese high-speed rail useless, trillions of dollars wasted.' It said there's a German who lives in Hanover but works near Munich. He drives an Audi RS6 AVANT back and forth every weekend. Because there's no speed limit on the highway here, he can get home in a little over two hours." Xiao Peng said with envy, "I really thought it would be like that! That would be awesome! Our Chinese high-speed rail takes three hours to travel such a long distance!"
Walter was silent for a moment after hearing this. "Boss, although I'm happy that people in your country like Germany so much, I want to ask: Has he ever asked us Germans for our opinions before he brags so much about us? We should also have a sense of shame, okay? This statement is too shameful!"
Fabian blinked after hearing this: "Is there something wrong with this?"
Walter smiled bitterly and said, "It's over 600 kilometers from Hanover to Munich. Let me put it this way, it takes about ten minutes to get from downtown Munich to the highway. The car you just mentioned is the Audi RS6 AVANT. It has an electronic speed limiter, and its maximum speed is only 250 kilometers per hour. Even if the electronic speed limiter is removed and the racing chip is installed, the maximum speed is 305 kilometers per hour. Doesn't he go through the curves on the road? Doesn't he go on the speed limit lane? Besides, doesn't he refuel?"
Xiao Peng slapped his forehead when he thought of this: "Damn, how could I forget about refueling!"
The fuel consumption of these cars is terrifyingly high when they are running at top speed!
Take Xiao Peng's Rolls-Royce Wraith. It uses about 14 liters per 100 kilometers on a normal highway run. At top speed? It consumes nearly 90 liters per 100 kilometers! And how big is the Rolls-Royce Wraith's fuel tank? 83 liters! And as for the Audi RS6 AVANT, at top speed? It consumes nearly 70 liters per 100 kilometers. How many times would it need to refuel after covering over 600 kilometers?
Walter added, "And the tires! Even the RS6 AVANT's factory tires aren't guaranteed to last 600 kilometers at over 250 kilometers per hour. Driving from Hanover to Munich in five hours is a blessing, and two hours? I feel embarrassed when they praise Germany so much! Do they think the German Autobahn is a straight line with no slow cars, no turns, and no need to consider tires, fuel consumption, or weather? Are there really people who believe such nonsense?"
Xiao Peng nodded. "Of course there are people! Didn't I envy the unlimited speed limits on German highways? But at first I thought it was the car's fault. Ordinary cars can't do what sports cars can do. It's just that poverty has limited my imagination."
Fabian shook his head. "No, no, no, you're not the same. There are people like this in this world. If God gives them a chance to be a fool, they won't let it go even once. Just like Bruch and Deborah."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "They're not stupid. Maybe one day we'll all need to look up to them."
Fabian and Walter curled their lips together and made a disdainful expression after hearing this. That possibility is very small, okay?
Walter suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "Look, it's snowing again. Driving at 300 miles per hour on this road in this kind of weather? You're kidding!"
