VIDEO: The Bugatti Chiron Sets An All-new Speed Record OVER 300 MPH

The Bugatti Chiron has made history.

There's been a lot of conversation about the speed record and whether or not Bugatti would give it a run for its money. And, boy, did it.

In a modified version of the Chiron, Bugatti entrusted Andy Wallace — who set the speed record with the McLaren F1 — to do it again. He did.

Breaking the 300 mph barrier is a HUGE triumph for the automobile. It's a huge win for engineering, no doubt, since this is something that's been dreamed about for ages and questioned whether or not it could be done.

Clearly, it has. See the clip released from Bugatti, below.

Final speed: 304.77mph / 490.48 kph.

Congratulations!

Now that Piech has passed, maybe VW can refocus on their core competencies?

Its time for the ego to come out of the VW Group. It will be an interesting next couple of years as VW refocuses (and gets finances in order).

300mph is a great technological accomplishment, but to what end? So a VW can go 300mph. #yawn

Good for them, the more of a blur this abomination is, the better I feel.

What is exactly is the accomplishment? Is it that a street car can go 300? Or a modified street car?
