Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Renamed World’s Fastest Production Car By Guiness

After what seemed like a blow to Bugatti, Guinness World Records have renamed the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport as the world’s fastest production car. Last week Guinness stripped Bugatti’s record after it was brought to their attention the Veyron Super Sport had its top speed limiter deactivated. This left the previous record holder, SSC (formerly known as Shelby supercars), to quickly re-state their now again short lived notoriety.

“Following a thorough review conducted with a number of external experts, Guinness World Records is pleased to announce the confirmation of Bugatti’s record of Fastest production car achieved by the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport. The focus of the review was with respect to what may constitute a modification to a car’s standard specification. Having evaluated all the necessary information, Guinness World Records is now satisfied that a change to the speed limiter does not alter the fundamental design of the car or its engine.”
