I don’t have a license or car. A friend of mine posted a story on IG driving at 300 km/h on the highway. I know it’s fast, but just how fast in terms of driving?

It is ridiculous fast and probably not really smart.
But, the fact that we (Europe) have labels for the maximum speed a tire is approved for even till 300kmh, does indicate it is not abnormal.
As others already mentioned, above a certain speed, in case of an accident, you will be held more accountable.
But folks with BMW, Audi, Porsches etc. do drive serious cars. Going faster than 250 is not an issue with most of the models. The biggest challenge is to slow down from these speeds in a controlled way.
It’s abnormal.
That kind of speed requires 500hp+, depending on Cd and frontal area.
What percentage of cars produce 500hp+?
(I’m not even sure 500hp is enough, it’s been a while since I’ve done the math).
Small increments in speed require non-linear increases in power.
