Well they are not the first 'road legal' car to go over 300mph (that's IF this car is actually road legal with all the mods they've done), as a few Texan Tuners in the US have already taken a 13 year old Ford GT over the 300mph about 6 months ago.
thanks for that newsI found more info here:

You're welcome. Though by being 'European', I would default be cheering on our manufacturers from this side of the pond (well, we gotta keep that friendly Euro/US rivalry going!), there's no denying the incredible achievement of those lads in Texas. Massive, massive respect to them - and the driver of course, for being able to keep it pinned and get it to that speed in only a mile!!Good to know you've got 250mph in reserve as you ponce down Kensington High Street trying to attract hot girls before you bugger off back to the UAE .
No-one with a mental age of 18 or more will buy one, those that do won't drive them much and nobody will do 300mph on a public road , or 99.99 % of race tracks . Should have been called Le Bugatti Elephant Blanc

Oh I am more than happy thanks. I just cannot find the latest VAG willy waving anything less then absurd . It seems to me that VAG was inspired by Spinal Tap in creating this silly car - but it thought it was a documentary .
I like the fact that manufacturers make silly willy waving cars. So much more interesting than most of the dull cars that they do make.DoubleD said:

But at two million quid a pop they can hardly fail to get the odd headline. Nobody 99% of us know will ever buy one and I'd be far more impressed with a genuinely disruptive small sports car which I can at least dream of buying.
As far as I am concerned the first and last word on hypercars was the McLaren F1 - because it was designed to be light , normally aspirated and lack the host of driver aids without which the Chiron wouldn't be driveable.most of the time. And , of course the F1 did rather well on track , with a great competition record , despite being conceived as a road car.
And the only record the Chiron will take is for straight line speed , that is unless it goes to Bonneville where some good ol' boy would probably leave it for dust for less cost than the deposit on a Chiron
