Several hypercars have published figures above 240 mph, but those figures describe different things: a manufacturer’s model specification, a test-track run, or an average from a record attempt. Documented examples include the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, Chiron Super Sport, Koenigsegg Agera family, SSC Tuatara, and SSC Ultimate Aero. Their numbers are not directly comparable as a single ranking.

Cars with documented figures above 240 mph

The table distinguishes a stated model capability from a speed achieved in testing or a record attempt. Figures are attributed to the organizations that published them; they do not all represent independently verified production-car records.

Car Published figure What it represents
Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ 304.773 mph (490.484 km/h) Bugatti says a near-production Chiron prototype derivative reached this speed on a German test track in 2019. The 30-unit special edition was based on that record vehicle, but the run should not be described as the speed of an identical customer production car. Bugatti’s 2019 account.
Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 440 km/h (about 273.4 mph) Bugatti’s stated top speed for the production model; the company also describes high-speed development testing up to that speed. 2022 technical release and 2021 testing report.
Koenigsegg Agera family (Agera, Agera R, Agera S) Over 400 km/h (over 248.5 mph) Koenigsegg’s Agera page gives this as the Agera S top-speed figure. The page does not specify a measured record-run speed. Koenigsegg Agera model page.
SSC Tuatara 282.9 mph (455.3 km/h) average SSC reports this average for a January 17, 2021 run at Kennedy Space Center. SSC identifies Racelogic as independent verifier and says speed and time were captured using a VBOX 3i 100Hz GNSS system with stated accuracy of ±0.06 mph. SSC records page.
SSC Ultimate Aero 256.14 mph average; 256.2 mph on SSC’s records page SSC’s homepage recounts a 2007 average of 256.14 mph; its records page rounds the figure to 256.2 mph and lists Guinness World Records as verifier. SSC homepage and SSC records page.

Why the speed claims are not a simple ranking

“Can go 240 mph” can mean a maker publishes a model’s top-speed capability, a vehicle reaches a speed during a test-track run, or a record attempt produces an average under its own measurement rules. Those are different kinds of evidence. A one-way maximum, for example, is not interchangeable with an average from a record run.

The Bugatti figures illustrate the distinction. The 304.773 mph number belongs to a near-production prototype derivative run in 2019, while 440 km/h is Bugatti’s stated top speed for the Chiron Super Sport production model. The Koenigsegg figure is a manufacturer-published threshold rather than a specific measured run. SSC’s Tuatara and Ultimate Aero entries are reported averages, with verification details stated by SSC.

What these figures do—and do not—establish

  • All five examples have published figures above 240 mph, but this is not an exhaustive count of every car ever claimed to exceed that speed.
  • The cited claims do not establish that every customer-owned example can reproduce the stated speed in ordinary conditions.
  • These figures concern controlled testing or record attempts, not public-road driving guidance.
  • Bugatti said in 2019 that the Chiron Super Sport 300+ special edition was limited to 30 units. That historical production statement does not establish current availability.
