A once fabled speed is now becoming the aspiration of the modern hypercar buisness.
Intro
300 mph is fast and very recently a non existent speed for production car manufacturers. Now Buggatti has managed to break it. They set the bar at 305 mph and left all the other hypercar compaies in shock and scrambling to get there crap together. It's no longer a game of who's gonna do it. Now it's who can do it. In doing it, you are certified as the hypercar elite, a member of the 300 club.
The list
Now soon to be members are put on the list. We will examine their credentials and set them up to be let in. There initiation will be actually breaking the speed.
Something short and sweet and very repostable. ;)

I dont like that all of these cars have to run on Race Fuel. Can they not just develop a more powerful engine . Its blatant cheating. Im not a big fan of Bugatti, but at least they didnt use race fuel
The Hennessy uses E85
It produces more hp with E85 . Kinda cheating
Remember when Mosler “claimed” the Land Shark could get up to 305 mph?
