252mph, New Production car speed record

donaldgladden · Post by **donaldgladden** » 06 Sep 2005, 23:21

The CC didnt knock mclaren off. the F1 goes to about 230 and as far as i know the Koeng cars travel to only 220mph.

The figures see the Veyron smash the recent 241mph claimed by Koenigsegg with its CCR and the McLaren F1â€™s long standing 240.1mph record set in 1998.

This is obviously wrong. The Mclaren got owned by the CC.

PsZeta is right

It's CCR, not CC

The CCR beat the McLaren F1 by 1 MPH... that is pretty sad when you think of it.

yes very pointless. just put Flowmaster on it and do a rerun and let Mclaren take its spot back.

Sarcasm DUHHH

But it didn't. The McLaren did 240mph. The Koenigseg did 241mph. And now the Bugatti did 252mph.

The Mclaren F1 did 390kph which is 242mph. I can find a way to upload the video of the Mclaren doing a speed run. The guy clearly says 390KPH.

He said that, but was he really doing that speed? I think he was looking at the speedometer? If so, the speed wouldn't be accurate and it always has a small difference.

James31278 · Post by **James31278** » 26 Sep 2005, 21:00

I'd have to look at it again but I think it showed he was doing that.

Well the guys shouted to the camera 391 kph and said it wouldnt go any faster.

There is a difference between the speed you see on the speedometer and the actual speed. This is done to avoid speeding tickets. As an example, cops set up a speed limit of 60 mph. If you drive past them at dead 60 mph at the speedo, they might get you for 61 mph if the speedo isn't accurately set. So people build the cars with a difference on the speedo, about 3 mph.

This is only when inside the car though. If they did an outside calculation, then it probably went around 242.

This was on a race track in england I assume since the driver was british.
