Bugatti gave Top Gear the Veyron and use of the Ehra Lessien test track to film a top speed run. In the video, James May drives the world’s fastest production car to an incredible 407 kmh (253mph.) This gets our vote for the best exotic car video of the year so far. Superb job by the Top Gear editors; even the Star Wars theme music fits perfectly.
Bugatti and the Ehra-Lessien test track are both owned by the Volkswagen Audi Group. The track is near Wolfsburg, Germany and the headquarters of VAG. The 407 kmh speed was acheived on the track’s world famous 9km straightaway, also used 10 years ago to set the McLaren F1’s top speed record of 240 mph.
