    Because 415kmh is sooooooo much safer than 430kmh

    It is when your tyres don't explode and/or de-laminate.... At 416km/h

    "A set of the Super Sport’s special Michelin tires costs $42,000 and may last 10,000 miles if you’re careful, though they last only 15 minutes at the car’s top speed (at that pace, however, the 26.4-gallon tank is sucked dry in just 10 minutes, and there’s no place on Earth to safely go that fast that long anyway, so no worries). At the third tire replacement, Michelin requires that you also swap out the $69,000 wheels—coincidentally, the only wheels that fit those tires—to ensure a proper bead seal."

    Crazy stuff!!!!

    Maybe. Also might have to do with emissions laws

    Just guessing

    Guinness world records are full of shit.

    They recognized the McLaren F1's 391km/h which was done at 8300rpm with the rev limiter removed.

    The top speed was 386 with limiter in tact.

    So they can remove their limiter and score records but Bugatti can't? BS

    Veyron SS is the fastest car in the world, regardless of what those morons say.

    At least its a real car. Designed from the ground up and is more than just a one trick pony.
    Unlike the glorified hotrod that is the Lotus......ummmmm.....Hennessey

    hmmm...I dont know hey, I might side with Guiness World Records here..... the full title is fastest production car in tihe world. that means dead stock - if they removed the limiter - thats modified, albeit small.

    trust me - i hate the yanks! but you know what, this is just a technicality - Bugatti will come back and shift the limit on models going forward and reclaim it! then it will be part of production.

    That Hennesy, is it a 427 cubic inch, is that not the same motor as the Holden HSV 427, fastest Holden ever built?

    PS: I love the McLaren F1 - years ahead of its time! an amazing engine!

    The Hennessey is just dangerous. That's why I like it. Lol.

    It's based on a lotus but there is much more to it than that.
