Those people who say this is a bad movie, are wrong...
I have seen this film 4 times in 5 days, and I will go and see it at least another 4 times!!!
The main difference between A2Racer (alternative title for Autobahnraser) and Fast&Furious is HUMOR!!!!! Not only we get fast and beautiful cars, we get a large amount of jokes and funny situations as well!! That is what I missed from Fast&Furious...
The plot itself is quite simple, but these movies are not about the story, they are about cars. And girls, of course. And you can see a lot of beautiful girls in this movie!!!! Also the action sequences are very well done... I only felt sorry for those cars they have broken... but fortunately the Police Porsche survived!! :-)
Anyway, I think the German did a great job, and this movie will always have a place among my favorites!! :-)

I am ashamed to be German - with this movie, it's official. This wannabe-rip-off "Fast and Furious" movie about fast cars and the German high ways ("Autobahnen") is horrible, awful, disastrous, boring and ridiculous. The characters seem to come directly from TV soap operas, there is absolutely no merely intelligent dialogue and the director seems to be replaced by a computer - the scenes were cut arbitrarily, acting is miserable and the plot is foreseeable and just plain stupid. I'm sure (and sad) that this film will find its audience in Germany (like Fast and Furious found its audience in the US - but Fast and Furious nevertheless had some style): the uneducated "lads" who firmly believe that their car is the artificial extension of their dick. Horrible movie, avoid at all costs.
Funny,interesting,sprightly,extremely enjoyable,hugely amusing,colorful comedy about Autobahn races.The actors are all young and comely.I am a fan of this flick.I can't say how much I enjoyed this independent and ingenious comedy.Some don't like it;well,it was not made for them,that's all.
The photography is excellent,the colors are delicious.Some fine women (Alexandra Neldel,Henriette Richter-Röhl,Ivonne Schönherr).Beautiful cars,clean and lustrous.
This gag-based movie combines comedy and adventure,it's easy and savor.It has gusto,dynamism,a good pace.The comic is trashy,startling and pleasing.Campy acting,and no fake pretenses.
The humor is unhesitating and unmerciful,but it never gets dirty or insulting.Autobahnraser is made with a trashy frankness,without delusions.

This film is great for TV, ProSieben in Germany or RTL II, but the big screen - get over it, it's a waste of time and money. The story is way too predictable. Directing, please give us a break. Why is a film like this being so pushed by the press and the distribution company - avoid at all cost, otherwise you may think that all German comedys are stinkers like this piece of cinematic c***. Usually when the producers mother, Miss. Iris Berben, isn't in a film by her son, the moovie is a failure. I think Constantin Film, the German distributer has to watch out, what their portfolio is gonna look like in a couple of years - I mean stuff like this is not going to work on VIDEO and DVD. But it will have great ratings on RTL II.
I saw this title a couple days a go on Austrian TV and I did like it a lot. As a matter of fact I gave it 10 whole points, and there is a good reason for that.
All those who say Autobahnraser is simple, dull and shallow are 100% right. It is all those things. But I don't see why wouldn't it be? It's a teen comedy with cool cars and fast idiotic driving. You really don't need things like acting, drama and a complex story in such an arrangement. It would just spoil the simple fun.
However, the main reason why I loved Autobahnraser so much is the appearance of my beloved 2002. I have one, I love it and I like seeing it in movies, especially if there's fast driving involved. That's it - 10 subjective points from me :D
Even so, with all it's shallowness, Autobahnraser has more depth than Avatar, for instance...
