I am usually the last person to pull this card, and have years of flat-out autobahn driving under my belt, but ... doing 186 mph when there's even a possibility of a lane change in front of you is in-freakin-saaaane.

Edit: I almost doubt the driver was even German.

Somehow I found this quite notably. The M-family out for a drive

Following the M5 were anM6 and an M3 being driven by the driver’s sons. They were able to put out a fire that started in the M5’s engine bay following the crash.

Read about this a few weeks ago, crazy they survived. I don't know how anyone could be going that speed on the autobahn, as there are other cars on the road.

Damn, that's what the car looked like after a 186 mph crash!?! Glad they all survived.

At 186mph, your survival depends on luck, not engineering.

Dont totally agree..depends on engineering and on luck. If you doing 186mph in a e39 M5 (example), your "luck" is smaller.
