Bugatti Veyron: Now aiming for Guinness World Record for fastest production car

The Bugatti Veyron is now targeting the Guinness World Record for fastest production car.

On October 28th Bugatti will begin its attempt to get the Veyron in to the Guinness Book of Records as the worlds fastest production car. The attempt will take place at the Ehra Lessien test track located near Wolfsburg, Germany, and owned by Volkswagen. It was an unbroken straight of 9km, which should be sufficient to test the Veyron’s maximum speed.

“Unofficially” the Veyron has already reached 253mph (407km/h) on this surface, so Volkswagen is fairly confident it can do the same under official observation. Currently, the Guinness World Record holder for speed in a production vehicle is the 245mph, 806hp Koenigsegg CCR. The Veyron already has the record for most powerful production car.
