I just looked it up....ZR...(...Y) which is what PS4S are rated is good for above 186 mph (300 kph), the highest speed rating there is.

This.
You can let worry and fear ruin a perfectly good drive, or you can just get out there and enjoy it. I choose the latter.
Autobahn is smooth, wide, with very gentle corners. I've done over 150mph on the Nordschleife, and that is a scary experience. Guardrails or concrete walls a foot from your side mirrors at all times. I'm almost at my life goal of a 7:55 lap, and that is WAY riskier than doing full out on the Autobahn.
