And a long, very straight road. You do not want to hit a puddle or have to maneuver at that sort of speed.

Forty-five years ago, Vic Elford was driving Porsche 917s at those speeds on closed tracks—like LeMans.

When I recently saw a "Koenigsegg" at a Nürburgring video, I assumed it was a local German tuner with a very fast car!

That's true. When the Shelby SSC Ultimate Aero hit 257.41 mph a few years ago near here, it was on a perfectly ordinary two-lane and very straight county road, between wheat fields (Sheriff closed the road to normal traffic).
