Was dyno'd a few years ago with 60 at the wheels and it deffinately goes better now so it is a guess but a poorly educated one

At the other, Bugatti shaped, end of the spectrum. The 'standard' Veyron had a top speed of 253mph with 1000bhp. The Veyron Supersport had 1200bhp and did 268. So in that instance, power increased by 20%, but top speed only increased by 6%.

You can't blame them for trying, would you be satisfied with only 253mph?

I can't help thinking that one day you'd look in the box and petrol would be sloshing around in it with nowhere to go.
