The record was achieved on Saturday last at VW's Proving Ground near Wolfsburg.
The Veyron 16.4 Super Sport has an output of 1,200hp and a maximum torque of 1,500Nm. The production car has a limited top speed of 415km/h (to protect the tyres), but is otherwise identical to the record car.
The first five Super Sports to come off the production line will constitute a special series of their own, with the same configuration as the landspeed record car.
