The Bugatti Veyron set a new all-time speed record as the "Fastest Production Car in the World", as recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records. The new high speed was set in two runs on July 4, 2010, with test driver Pierre Henri Raphanel reaching an average of 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph). This came three years after the Veyron lost its title to the SSC Ultimate Aero TT.
In 2007, driver Chuck Bigelow, 71, drove SSC's Ultimate Aero on a stretch of highway 221, clocking 414.31 kph (257.44 mph) on the first pass and 410.24 kph (254.91 mph) on the second pass to yield an official record speed of 412.28 kph (256.18 mph). It was the first time the title had been held by a United States auto manufacturer since the Ford GT40 claimed the record in 1967.

* The fastest "road vehicle" is the Thrust SSC Which can go 753 MPH (1212 kph)though it's obviously not "street legal."
