The conditions are the ranking. A two-way average at Ehra-Lessien is not a one-way run at Kennedy Space Center, and neither is a lap of the banked Nardò ring. The Veyron Super Sport's 431.072 km/h and the Agera RS's 447.19 km/h are two-way averages. The CCR and the Venom GT are one direction. The Nevera's 400 km/h is a speed reached during a 0–400–0 test, not an absolute maximum.
The Chiron Super Sport 300+ ran 490.484 km/h one way in a pre-production car and is tagged prototype. The standard Chiron is listed at its 420 km/h road limit, and the Chiron Super Sport at Bugatti's stated 440 km/h. The U9 Xtreme's 496.22 km/h is the manufacturer's claim. Record cars such as ThrustSSC are not in this table. Checked 6 October 2026.
