the Bugatti Veyron is (still) the world’s fastest production car, having just wrested the crown from itself in a successful world-record attempt. On Volkswagen’s Ehra-Lessien test track just outside of Wolfsburg, Bugatti’s official test driver got the new Veyron 16.4 Super Sport to hit a two-way average speed of 268 mph. That terminal velocity eclipses the original Veyron 16.4 coupe’s by 15 mph. It’s faster, all right, and conditions on Saturday allowed a top speed higher than the Bugatti team was even expecting-they forecasted a conservative, and utterly tame by comparison, 264 mph.

Manufacturing variations of the Super Sport will have their prime velocity electronically restricted to 258 mph, so as to defend the tires from certain, expedient death. To attain that increased velocity, the automobile has undergone a pretty vital aerodynamic rework, with the obvious change being the elimination of the steamship-esque silver air intakes. They’ve been changed by a pair of roof-mounted NACA ducts, and the roof itself has been extended rearward to largely obscure the W-16 engine, which itself has been tweaked. The 4 turbos are bigger, as are the intercoolers that feed them. Output is now 1200 hp (up from the cooler-sounding 1001) and 1106 lb-ft of torque (a rise of 184 lb-ft). Higher respiration is facilitated by a new front fascia with larger openings, and there’s a double diffuser within the rear that incorporates twin middle-mounted exhaust ideas rather than the “regular” Veyron’s single, squared-off outlet.
