Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Stripped of Guinness World Record for Fastest Production Car
Guinness World Records has announced that Bugatti has been stripped of the title for fastest production car in the world.
Guinness World Records confirmed that the suspicions were correct and since the speed limiter was removed, it was no longer considered the same production car that consumers paid their hard-earned cash for. The rules state that the record must be set in a car that is mechanically identical to those on sale to the public.
The title of world’s fastest production car will likely go to Shelby SuperCars’ Ultimate Aero, which held the record of 256.1 mph before the Veyron Super Sport went 267.8.
