As of August 2017, the Veyron SS is still classified as the fastest production car in the world. To this day, even though the Bugatti Chiron is believed to have a top speed of around 463 km/h (288 mph), it is not verified, and with the limiter it has a non-verified top speed of 261 mph (420 km/h). Bugatti sought a review of the decision and Guinness, after a review by a panel of experts, considered removing the limiter was not a modification and thereby making the car eligible for their publication. Initially, when challenged by Hennessey, Guinness decided the Bugatti was ineligible because the test car was deemed as being modified.
Bugatti did not sell any with the limiter removed. With the limiter the Veyron SS goes 415 km/h (257.87 mph). Bugatti made 5 Veyrons named the World Record Edition out of the initial production run of 30 Super Sports, all of which would be able to achieve this speed if the limiter was removed. The current Guinness World Records title holder, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, was certified for the average top speed achieved on a two-way run, registering 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph). Examples of the difficulties faced were shown up in the dispute between Bugatti and Hennessey over which car was the world's fastest.
