There is a 200km (125 miles) stretch of highway in Australia's Northern Territory that has no speed restrictions - you can drive as fast as you dare without fear of cops springing out and carting you off to instant penal servitude for the term of your natural life.

Below is a Porsche promo showing a standard 918 clocking 350 km/hr - luckily not meeting any of the local wildlife such as the odd camel, buffalo or bovine let alone an 18 wheel Mack truck + bogy.....

I'm pleased I wasn't travelling in the opposite direction when the 918 came through - the backwash would have probably thrown me into the scrub backwards.
