The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse world speed record is official and there will be a limited edition WRC model with black and orange paintwork.

It looks like the ‘New’ Bugatti promised yesterday is the Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse World Record Convertible, not the ‘Super’ Veyron. We should have known. Yesterday we reported that Bugatti are teasing ’the latest example of exceptional Bugatti performance’, which we thought might be the much touted ‘Super’ Veyron offering 1600hp. But it seems not.

The Hennessey Venom GT – an American, Lotus Elise-based supercar – has clocked 265.7mph for a new world record top speed for a production car.

The track-focused, but road-legal, Jaguar XKR-S GT is aimed just at North America, but Jaguar will build it for the UK if there’s demand. One surprise at the 2013 New York Auto Show was the Jaguar XKR-S GT, an XKR-S with added butchness aimed at North America and being built in very limited numbers. When [...]
