There's no better feeling than being able to red-line a hot hatch on an open stretch of road with no traffic lights nor speeding cameras in sight.

That is a reality of travelling along the Autobahn in Germany where motorists can legally speed, as a video by AutoTopNL shows.

The weapon of choice is a 2018 Honda Civic Type-R that capable of 228kW and 400Nm - Honda's first turbocharged Type R model.
