"Top Gear can exclusively reveal that Shelby SuperCars (SSC) North America has set a new production car top speed record, hitting a VMAX of 331mph and setting a two-way average of 316.11mph on a seven-mile stretch of closed road just outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. Climb on board for the outrageous 0-331mph run as Top Gear is granted exclusive footage from the guys that are making the full feature-length documentary of this epic endeavour, landing later in the year."
Something I keep thinking about is that these cars that get to 300+ mph are ridiculous.
You have to have a closed track to do it and nobody is ever going to reach these speeds IRL.
I remember the Bugatti one on Top Gear and the track was so long you could see the curvature of the Earth.
I know nothing about cars, nothing, but would there be more practical use in inventing an engine that does 100 tops, but works differently to get there faster, because most motorways don't cater for 300+mph cars.
