When we ran 270 at NASA it wasn’t our top speed, we just ran out of road.“I’m not worried about it [Koenigsegg’s speed], I’m excited and motivated. And once you have more players that are playing in the top speed game, then you have more relevance.“It all puts pressure on Bugatti, to step up and deliver the number that everybody expects them to do.

Consider the Agera’s one-way pass of 285mph, which is crazy, crazy fast…“Could we pull a Venom GT out of the mothball and take it out and challenge that? The Hennessey Venom GT Spyder has set a new world speed record for open-top sports cars by hitting 427.4km/h…

It’s a feat that topples the previous Vmax record held by John Hennessey ever since his Venom GT hit 270.49mph at the Kennedy Space Center in 2014. 1,244 horsepower, 2743 pounds, Brembo 6-piston 15" carbon-ceramic brakes and a couple of world records. Hennessey built 13 of ‘em, challenging the world with a top speed run of 270 mph back in 2014.

I’ve been waiting almost four years for somebody to better the record. I don’t think that you need to have Guinness there to make a number official.”But, importantly, does John think he can better Koenigsegg’s speed?

Possibly,” he contends. And fair play to them.”It was actually the same guy from Racelogic who previously verified John’s Venom GT records, so he’s in no doubt that the numbers are legit.This does open up the debate about a common validation for these top speed records.

So let’s see what they’ve got.”With three very different companies, and three very different philosophies striving for one target in three different engineering packages, the fight to be the fastest car on the planet has never been more exciting.Is the race to 300mph more relevant than ever?

Then we’ll let those guys duke it out for a little while, then, once we figure out which one of those guys [Koenigsegg and Bugatti] is going the fastest, then we’ll take the F5 out and lay down a number.”Yet, even though Koenigsegg set five speed records over the weekend (highest top speed for a production vehicle, 0-400-0 km/h, flying kilometre on a public road, flying mile on a public road and highest speed achieved on a public road) John made it very clear that he still has one over Christian.“Until Koenigsegg rips the roof off the Agera, we’ve still got that top speed record (265.6 mph).
