First of all, the McLaren F1 is NOT a twin turbo v12. Its N/A actually. Second of all, Koenigsegg makes the fastest car. 388 K/hr. My connection is too slow so I haven't watched the video but go to www.koenigsegg.com . Heres a list of the top performers:
1. Koenigsegg CCR 388 km/h
2. McLaren F1 372 km/h
3. Ferrari Enzo 355 km/h
4. Porsche Carrera GT 334 km/h
4. McLaren Mercedes SLR 334 km/h
5. Lamborghini Murcielago 330 km/h

The Bugatti run was not unofficial, and although the Koenigsegg recently broke the record, the Bugatti has already claimed the title. Read the article HERE

you never would have thought something like this would hold the record for speed... CLICK guess we were all wrong! I heard when you purchase it, it comes with a free cd of "highway to the dangerzone"
