Bugatti have a production car land speed record, but other car manufacters are threatening to take that record away. SSC are making that new Tuwatura thing and Koeingsegg are building the Agera R which is supposed to do speeds in excess of 270mph.
So why don't Bugatti make a 'racing' Veyron? Here's my idea. Take a Veyron Supersports and strip out the entire interior. Then add a new lightweight steering wheel and one lightweight bucket seat. This would save a good amount of weight and should improve the speed by a few miles per hour. Remove the lights and all the other unnessacary things; make it a track only race car like an FXX.
As soon as the works done, take it to the track and improve on the record. Job's a good 'un.
What's wrong with my idea and why have Bugatti not done this?

Of course it would- it would have a lightweight steering wheel
Ahhh I missed that detail, I apologise. 
The main problem would still be weight, despite having a lightweight steering wheel and a stripped-out interior.
Plus they don't need to make a race version, as said above.

At those sorts of speeds, weight is an advantage rather than a disadvantage since it reduces the amount of work needed on the aero to keep it stable. it's a shame Veyrons don't have back seats though, since they can't be folded down. Perhaps they should wait until the Galiber is released?The main problem would still be weight, despite having a lightweight steering wheel and a stripped-out interior.

Has anyone actually seen a video of the SSC Aero doing 257mph?
One should take any top speed idea with a pinch of salt. All you really need to make a faster car is to be a master of bulls
t marketry.

I don't know what the fastest car in the world is and wouldn't like to venture a guess.
