Ferrari Mailing List: Re: BUGATTI WOW ! - (NFC)

[E M (pokiebaron]

I think the record was set by a Peugeot, of 253 mph, or 406 kmh.  I think
they put the  twisties in Mulsanne straight, late 80's real 90's to help
keep top speeds down.

I think the old porsche 917s were touching up near 240 mph, but I can't find
any official times for it posted.

The thing with the BUG, if you drive it like that, you'll be out of gas in
about 12 minutes, if you start with a full tank, and tires probably not long
after. lol.  Still, it is quite the engineering accomplishment for a road
car!! ;-)
