Bugatti has officially become the first manufacturer to produce a road car that's capable of speeds in excess of 300mph. It has been confirmed that the tuned Bugatti Chiron hypercar, with British racing driver Andy Wallace at the wheel, hit a top speed of 304.77mph (490.48 km/h) at a test track in Germany on 2nd August, beating the previous record by almost 27mph.
At that speed, the car is covering a staggering 136 metres per second, which is more than a football pitch. Stephan Winkelmann, the president of Bugatti, described the 300mph achievement as a 'milestone for eternity'.
The hypercar maker had previously held the top speed record for a road model between the years of 2005 and 2007 and again from 2010 to 2017.
On both those occasions, it was the firm's previous-generation hypercar, the Veyron, that held the gong for the fastest model but was dethroned two years ago by the Koenigsegg Agera RS, which had been clocked travelling at 277.87mph.
