1. "Autobahn" is the German word for motorway, the road system found in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Though there is no official speed limit, there is a recommended one, which is of about 130 km/h (80 mph). In Germany, the official name for the autobahn is Bundesautobahn, or, when translated into English, Federal Motorway. Autobahns are maintained by the federal government. Orginally called Reichsautobahn (Imperial Motorway), the first Autobahn was completed in 1931, a road between Cologne and Bonn.

2. "Autobahn" is a song by the German band Kraftwerk, composed in 1974 by Florian Scheider and Ralf Hütter, with Emil Schult collaborating on the lyrics. The original version of Autobahn is over 22 minutes long, but was editted down to 4 when it entered the Top 40 charts in the USA and other countries. The original song can be found on Kraftwerk's album, Autobahn.
1. "I am driving down the Autobahn, going 90 mph."
2. "Die Fahrbahn ist ein graues Band, Weisse Streifen, gruener Rand."
