259.11mph in Veyron SS achieved by James May


When the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport was revealed, Top Gear said that they had an involvement with the speed record. Well now it all makes sense now...

James May has always been considered 'Captain Slow'. Well, it's funny because he was the one who got to test two Veyrons first for Top Gear. Bugatti said that the SuperSports could achieve 269.8mph, and now May has finally came close the the barrier. The car reached a speed of 259.11mph! The speed was accomplished on the Ehra-Lessien test track in German.

The whole Top Gear crew attended the event, so we will probably see some footage on their shows. Also, the car is featured on the cover of Top Gear's new edition of their magazine.
