Bugatti Veyron Super Sport gets back fastest production car title

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is once again the world’s fastest production car after losing the title just a week ago.

Guinness World Records had stripped off Bugatti’s record after they discovered the Veyron Super Sport had the speed-limiter deactivated. This had given Shelby SuperCars (SSC) Ultimate Aero the title for the world’s quickest production car.

However Guinness World Records later claimed “a change to the speed limiter does not alter the fundamental design of the car or its engine”, giving back the mantle of fastest production car to the Volkswagen-owned supercar manufacturer.

The top speed achieved by the Veyron Super Sport without the limiter was 430.98 kph, while with the limiter-on the car can can reach 415 kph.

The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse recently achieved the title for the world’s fastest convertible as well, clocking a speed of 408.84 kph.
