[QUOTE=netburner]Because the McLaren was driven at that speed by Martin Brundle at VW-Testtrack Ehra-Lessien in Germany, but nobody tested out the Koenigsegg by now. That is only a theoretical number. It's like the Ferrari Enzo, everybody said it would go about 350kph and then there was a big test at Nardo/Italy (against SLR, CGT, Murciélago etc) and it went 361kph.[/QUOTE]
Andy Wallace was driving the car that went into the record books at 386km/h, but actually went 391.
The thing about Guinness records is that they need to be independantly verifieyed/ measured.
The CCR could do 400mph, but if they don't fill in the requisite forms and get the proper time/ speed recordings then it won't be official, and it won't be in the book.

A few days ago a standard CCR has officially driven a speed of 387.87 km/h on the Nardo speedtrack. But it must be possible to drive even faster because the Mclaren did the 386.70 km/h on a 9 km straight track. So Lorus Biocchi (Koeningsegg) thinks he might be able to get to 395 km/h on a straight track.

Too bad I've never seen one, they look really nice. I like the way the doors open.
