Company Trip To Germany and the Autobahn!

Just thought you guys would like to see some pics from the company trip! The company we went down to deal with gave us a Volkswagen Phaeton for the week.

There is no potholes the Autobahn is well maintained. Stable as any other car capable of reaching those speeds.

168.75 MPH...that's pretty damn fast.

Was it still accelerating a bit or was that the max?

almost all German cars have limiter at 250km/h even if speedometer reads 270 in reality it's about 250 cause almost all speedometers lie...
Ive read that the most powerful versions of Phaeton can reach 300km/h if u take the limiter off
