431 km/h (267.81 mph)... Congratulations Bugatti!

i can assume no tuning house has "chipped" one because of the liability involved. the car is probably worth more than the equipment in most tuners' R&D departments. that car is unbelievable. i was on the "rock and roller roller coaster" at Disney MGM studios- the brochure stated that it catapults you to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds. it was insane. now.... i can't imagine being in a car that does that- much less 2.2. most drivers over 60 should have a complete physical exam and a doctor's clearance before engaging the launch mode in that car- i'm serious.

fastest I've gone is 0-128mph in 3.5 seconds and that was really too fast to be able to think about anything.

Thank you for that Erik!

I kinda' like it.

Replace the black with silver or grey and the orange with red and that would create a nice GT3 RS-esque look. Or just keep it normal.

James May drove one for Top Gear magazine. He made 417kph. He said the acceleration was unbelievably strong all the way to 390kph. He also drove the Hennessey Venom GT and described the acceleration as a scenic headbutt.

I think it'll be very difficult for anyone to beat that speed, not just because it's fast but because VW don't let any potential competitors use Ehra-Lessien.

Here's some videos from last Top Gear. They drive it to 417 km/h and the testdrivers even more... It also sets a new laprecord around the track. So who's the boss?

The latest edition of EVO has some more interesting information about the record incl. an interview with the driver.

Many thanks! I'm in love with this car.

Many thanks! I'm in love with this car.

Me too... I thought the normal Veyron was a cool car but this is in another league. Attention to details..

My only criticism is that the "Super Sport" stitchings on the seats look so cheap for this car.

The rest is just extraordinary.
