well, this is no German remake of fast and furious - it is the German thought on fast and furious, a parody rather than a remake. and i had a great laugh watching it.
my most favorite part is when the old lady brakes hard because of all the 'autobahnraser' overtaking her, and her choppers fall out of her mouth in slow-motion, biting into the stirring wheel! wow, what an effect!
i loved the movie. real car stunts Made In Germany, no boring computer effects! good stuntmen, good joke ideas, unexpected situations! worth watching it!

For all of you who gave negative remarks about this movie get a life - the intended genre of the movie is not the same as need for speed underground at all. This was a nice relaxing comedy - not supposed to be action!!! I found the quip and jokes they made perfect as a lot of the comedies these days the directors and producers always want to go over the top and the movies end up being stupid. This is definitely not one of them. I might only be a Namibian German but I am not ashamed of my heritage like one of the other people that commented. I would suggest this movie to anyone who just wants to relax a little with very little violence and just light comedy - Enjoy it for what it is!!!!
Summary: I liked it. Beware! Don't watch this movie, if you look for a great "movie-experience". This movie is mindless and poorly executed from an artistic point of view. The plot is just outrageously badly developed. BUT if you have a "need for speed" in real life and are a car-enthusiast, you might at least be able to relate to the joy the cast manages to convey when they speed on German "autobahns" (probably the only thing they manage in this movie). If you don't expect subtle humour and a brilliant storyline, but look at the movie as what it was meant to be in the first-place - a stunt-, action- and car-focused no-brainer - you might be able to really enjoy this one. I sure did. Again: you should really enjoy cars and speeding (and don't fall into the stereotype of "souped-up car"="dick-replacement"), otherwise you'll probably really think of this as one of the worst movies ever.
I personally give it a 7/10 for the good feeling and laughs (partially probably unintended by the filmmakers though).
BTW: How the production company could launch this one, just when there was a major uproar about a so-called "Speeder-Trial" in German media (a young mother and her child were killed) remains a complete mystery to me and really gives me second thoughts about the producer's intellectual capabilities.

Well this is one of these flicks where you don't expect that you will like them. I saw this film in the Sneak Preview and and had a good time. Some people say this movie is a Fast and Furious rip-off (especially this pretty stupid Sechriwa) because of the story and the main topic of young people driving around in cars, but hey: FaF also wasnt original. Plus FaF bored me to death because those bad ass all american street racers where way too serious all the time. Autobahnraser makes fun of itself and the production standarts can easily compete with FaF, even though its just a third of the budget.
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...
