In a flash of orange and black, the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport achieved an incredible average top speed of 267.8mph - far exceeding the expectations of Bugatti's engineering team

Driven by Pierre-Henri Raphanel, the redesigned Veyron 16.4 Super Sport hit 265.9mph when driven against the wind and 269.8mph with the wind at a racetrack in Ehra-Lessien, Germany.

The car was a Swedish-built Koenigsegg CCX, which was involved in the San Francisco to Miami Gumball 3000 Rally

They are getting 267 MPH in test conditions in 2010, anyone remembers the fastest speeding ticket issued in Texas in 2003, someone was driving on the road at 242 MPH.

sorry to disapoint you man, but check the "dagger gt" ur bugatti seems like a "matchbox" comparing to it....from 0 to 100km in 1.5 sec...2000hp , reached 483 km per hour and it WASN'T the top speed...and above it all it's half the price of the bugatti :P

Wasn't that when the brakes failed coming down Moldoveanu Peak. As I recall, that incident caused your baldness and the twitch..... :O)
