Following two passes at the Ehra-Lessien track near Wolfsburg, Germany on the fourth of July, with Guinness Book of Records officials present, the Veyron Super Sport officially averaged 431.17 km/h besting the former record holder, the SSC Ultimate Aero TT by nearly 20 km/h.
Traffic pylon orange wheels and two-tone paint aside, the Veryon Super Sport has a tweaked version of its famed W16 engine with four enlarged turbochargers and heavier-duty intercoolers. The revised powerplant cranks out 1,200 horsepower and 1,106 lb.-ft. of torque, up from the standard version’s 1,001 horsepower and 922 lb.-ft. of torque. Having driven one of the “standard” models personally, it’s difficult to imagine what having an extra 199 horsepower on board might feel like.
