Guinness Book of Records ( which had listed speeds by British cars with modified rev limiter as production car records in the 1990s ) listed the unlimited 431.072 km / h ( 267.856 mph ) as production car speed record . Yet , 3 years later , after a query by the Sunday Times Guinness ' PR director Jaime Strang was quoted : `` As the car 's speed limiter was deactivated , this modification was against the official guidelines . Consequently , the vehicle 's record set at 431.072 km / h is no longer valid .
