388 KPH

Translated into American, that's a whopping 241 mph!! Wow!

Funny, at about 1:24 into the video the driver checks his rearview mirror. Always have to be alert for Z06's passing you at 241mph

Or check the mirror for 1988 Callaway Sledgehammers...

Still no serious threat to the JL piloted 255mph - even after 17 years.

Koenigsegg's are amazing machines, we're lucky down here in South FL with them being assembled in Ft. Lauderdale. I'm even luckier (was) working with them, however I missed to tour and the joy rides. Nice people, amazing cars!

What I still don't get is that the Mclaren was tested to 391 kph.

McLaren only has 372 KPH closed course.
