- A Porsche Panamera driver has been caught going 124 mph over the speed limit in Germany.
- They were reportedly going 199 mph in a 75 mph zone, which means they’re now facing a $1,050 fine.
- The driver is also looking at two points on his license as well as a three-month driving ban.
The Autobahn is widely believed to be a safe haven for speed but, in reality, there are a number of sections with limits. One driver found that out the hard way and they’re now facing stiff penalties.

According to German authorities, an enforcement trailer was located along the A2 motorway in a speed-limited section near Magdeburg. While it was in service, the trailer clocked one driver traveling 199 mph (321 km/h) in a 75 mph (120 km/h) zone. That’s a whopping 124 mph (201 km/h) over the speed limit.

That’s pretty excessive and police said he’s now facing a $1,050 (€900) fine. On top of that, the man is looking at two points on his license as well as a three-month driving ban.
Authorities publicized the incident to remind drivers that speed limits “serve to protect everyone” and “will keep you safe on the road.” They added that following the rules will enable drivers to “avoid hefty fines, points on your license, and driving bans.”
While the release was light on specifics, Tagesschau reported the unidentified man was driving a Porsche Panamera. There’s no word on which version, but the range-topping Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid has a combined output of 771 hp (575 kW / 782 PS) and a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h).
Interestingly, the publication noted the case of a Bugatti driver traveling 259 mph (417 km/h) on the same road. That incident occurred in 2021 and authorities were looking to see if the driver was illegally racing. However, the investigation reportedly ended because there was “insufficient suspicion of a crime.”
