"The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport held the title of fastest production car in the world for almost three years. The record-setting attempt happened in July 2010 at Volkswagen&amp;#039;s secret test track in Ehra-Lessen, Germany, was famously featured on Top Gear and was subsequently verified by the Guinness Book of World Records.  And now it&amp;#039;s over. Guinness World Records officially announced that it&amp;#039;s stripping the Bug&amp;#039;s title after discovering that the car used to set the record time of 267.8 mph had been modified, which is a violation of the rules. The infraction: The record-breaking Veyron did not qualify as a production car because a speed restrictor fitted to each of the 30 customer cars, had been deactivated on the world-record car.  So who owns the title of the world&amp;#039;s fastest production car? Looks like it&amp;#039;ll revert back to the Shelby SuperCars Ultimate Aero, which held the title (256.1 mph) before being dethroned by the Veyron Super Sport. Watch the Top Gear segment on the record attempt below.      via driving.co.uk "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
