What Bugatti has confirmed also was, this was not a production chiron. The power was bumped up about 1600hp, rollcage and harness were added for obvious reasons and it has specialty reinforced tires to handle the pressure and heat, they changed 7th gear to be longer and some aerodynamic changes.

Of course its impressive as hell, but i don't think they deserve title of fastest production car since they made all these changes.

Koenigseggs run in nevada on a unprepped public highway is much more impressive in my book.

For the price it should be capable of orbiting earth. Beautiful vehicle all the same.

True, however they can easily make it a production vehicle.

Again true. However I think logistics determined where they would make the attempt in this case.

I can definitely appreciate the engineering and man hours that went into making this happen. I've always been a Koenigsegg fan though, so I'm pulling for them to beat this with the Jesko. Still impressive nonetheless, and it makes the battle between the brands and inspiration in the industry that much better.

Agreed, I'm excited to see what the Jesko can do. The wing makes it look like it will take off and start a dog fight in the sky.

Yes it does. It's beautiful in my opinion. However, the Agera RS still holds the title as my favorite car on the planet. I love Christian's attitude and his passion towards his brand. It's refreshing to see nowadays.

Very impressive @ 304...But can it outrun a Police radio call?

Wow - 300mph is a huge milestone. 200mph was always the super difficult speed to surpass, and 300 by comparison makes it seem like nothing. These cars are beyond incredible. It's actually a little surprising to me that a normal human being can drive a car with that much capability. I wonder about the computer controls on something like that. Step on the gas pedal a little too much at the wrong time and that car would be impossible to control.

Here is some interesting info on "top speed" mode in the Chiron. Impressive technology.

Hennessey F5 will probably try to hunt these guys down, no? Wasn't 300 their target for that thing?

Wow - 300mph is a huge milestone.

I'm sure the New GT500 will be faster [/when in Rome]

Forgot to mention.. there's a reason why Koenigseggs decided to run in Nevada.
