Is it or is it not faster than the McLaren F1? The claim on the McLaren F1 page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_Cars) is that the McLaren F1 is the fastest production car ever made.

Some substantiation needs to be made for both claims in order to properly edit the appropriate page.

Actually, the recently released Bugatti Veyron is now considered the fastest, so many pages will need to be edited. - victorvp (talk)

Depends how you measure the F1. No production F1 ever did 240mph, although a prototype identical except for the lack of a rev limiter did 244 (faster than the CC8S). Fastest now is probably the Veyron, although the SSC Ultimate Aero may beat it. Possibly more importantly, are we sure the photo is actually a CC8S? looks funny to me, but I might be wrong... wimbledon andy 13:16, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I actually thaught the new one the "CCX" was the fastest road legal car.. is it?

No, the Veyron is slightly faster than the CCX, also the photo is a CC8S. The CCR has sharper headlights and the CC has covers, only the CC8S has lights that shape. James086Talk | Contribs 11:55, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
