<P> The Dauer 962 Le Mans, introduced in 1993, reached independently measured 404.6 km / h (251.4 mph) in 1998 and was considered as the fastest production car by several publications . But since only 13 cars were built while the rules on this site require a minimum of 25 it doesn't qualify for this list . </P> <P> The Koenigsegg CCR recorded a top speed of 387.866 km / h (241.009 mph) at the Nardò Ring testing facility on 28 February 2005 . The record was supervised and accredited by Guinness World Records at the time and a certificate recognising this achievement was awarded, citing the CCR as "The fastest production car...which achieved a speed of 387.866 km / h over a measured kilometre at the Nardo Prototipo proving ground, Italy". 14 examples of the CCR were produced in total, a total production run under 25 units does not qualify the CCR for inclusion on the table below . </P> <P> On 4 July 2010 the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport reached 431.072 km / h (267.856 mph) two - way average . Bugatti built 30 Super Sports (5 of them named World Record Edition). At the time the record was set it was known that the customer cars were electronically limited to 415 km / h (257.87 mph). Guinness Book of Records (which had listed speeds by British cars with modified rev limiter as production car records in the 1990s) listed the unlimited 431.072 km / h (267.856 mph) as production car speed record . Yet, 3 years later, after a query by the Sunday Times Guinness' PR director Jaime Strang was quoted: "As the car's speed limiter was deactivated, this modification was against the official guidelines . Consequently, the vehicle's record set at 431.072 km / h is no longer valid ." 5 days later it was written on its website: "Guinness World Records would like to confirm that Bugatti's record has not been disqualified; the record category is currently under review ." 5 days later Bugatti's speed record was confirmed: "Following a thorough review conducted with a number of external experts, Guinness World Records is pleased to announce the confirmation of Bugatti's record of Fastest production car achieved by the Veyron 16.4 Super Sport . The focus of the review was with respect to what may constitute a modification to a car's standard specification . Having evaluated all the necessary information, Guinness World Records is now satisfied that a change to the speed limiter does not alter the fundamental design of the car or its engine ." </P> <P> In 2014, a Hennessey Venom GT was recorded at 435.31 km / h (270.49 mph), but as the run was in one direction only and only 12 cars (+ 1 prototype) were ever made, it does not qualify under the Guinness Book of Records or this list's criteria as the world's fastest production car . Guinness accepted it as a production car, however . </P>
