Bugatti Veyron SuperSport

Less then a week after Guinness ripped the Veyron’s “World’s Fastest Production Car” title away from Bugatti, They have decided to give it back…..

The UK’s Sunday Times has since reported that the Guinness book of record organisation issued a statement explaining why the Veyron SS’ record should stand. Here’s what they said.

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.

Other carmakers may claim to build the fastest production car in the world, but in the eyes of Guinness, it’s officially the Veyron Super Sport. Bugatti now hold both the worlds fastest production car and world’s fastest convertible car titles.

It started at a young age with bedroom posters, the Countach of course. This slowly grew into a super car die-cast model collection, fifty five 1:18 models at the last count. At which point it had almost taken full control, the incurable Mad Car Disease ran deep though my veins all the way to the bone. And things for my loved ones just got worse as the cars where now being bought at 1:1 scale, after a BMW, HSV, and couple of Audi's, the disease reached my brain, pushing me over the edge and down the rabbits hole into the world of the bedroom poster.
