The story concludes: Wallace also noted one interesting side effect from the record setting. "I spent the next week after doing the run driving around really slowly and being quite happy; I was doing 10 or 15 mph under the speed limit everywhere."
Turn your sound all the way up and then click pic for video...

That is one gorgeous machine...

I feel like a song...
Now the boys all thought that I’d lost my sense
Those telephone poles were like a picket fence
They said “Slow down, I see spots!”
The lines on the road just looked like dots
Took a corner, side swiped a truck
Crossed my fingers just for luck
My fenders was clicking the guard rail post
The guy beside me was white as a ghost
All of the sudden she started knocking
Down in the dips she started rocking
I looked in the mirror. Red lights were blinking
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln
The arrested me and they put me in jail
Called my pappy to throw my bail
And he said “Son, you’re going to drive me to drinkin’
If you don’t stop driving that Hot Rod Lincoln”

JUST REMEMBER.... the GLOBALISTS who can afford a car like this are the ones who keep telling us that we must give them billions so they can deal with CLIMATE CHANGE.

I never heard that before - the sound effects were hilarious although probably not meant to be.

If this one is like its slower, older sibling, the Veyron, the tires will need to be replaced, the brakes redone and the front machineguns recalibrated. No need to redo the ejection seat, just lowering the passenger window kills with the wind shear!
If you have to ask about the fuel consumption, insurance or operational cost, you are not whom they are marketing this car to! As for me, it scares the daylights out of me if one is on the road within a 500 mile radius! WOW!

It didn’t open when I clicked it at first so I threw a link in there. No offense meant. There is also a longer video of the attempt.

Seriously? A production car breaking all previous records is NOT news? Car and Driver is a respected auto magazine e thats been around for decades.
But that poor young woman dying in her attempt at the world land speed record WAS news?
Im sorry, I dont follow.

Ejection seat? You must be joking.
