Bugatti Veyron reclaims top speed crown

The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which was unceremoniously stripped of its record for being the world's fastest production car, has had its honour restored.

The £2.1 million car originally made it into the record books when Bugatti test driver Piere-Henri Raphanel hit 268mph on the five-mile straight at Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien test track.
