391 Km/h in an aspirated engine. This is a perfection of the engineer.

@juliano Ramirez this car is 1992 I know in 92 I bought one for £1.2 mill

When they're doing the top speed run do they have the fans sucking the air from under the car? or do they not use them for the top speed run? And compared to the Bugatti Veyron (forgive me for making the comparison) this car is much less stable at high speed it seems, but that just makes the Mclaren much more exhilarating to drive!

Fuck! It's like a plane :D

@rvind92g I didn't ignore anything. I just didn't know. That's why I was wondering how it could do it so thank you for explaining. But actually, weight is negligible when it comes to top speed. Also, how would I know the rev limiter was removed for this

@ChevyGuy566 You've got to be kidding me, you are only taking the horsepower statistic into account and praise this car highly and say other cars can't do this. Did you take into account the weight, which is hundreds of kilos lighter than most supercars today? Did you take into the account the rev limiter was removed on this run? Did you take into account that this car has minimum downforce? You're ignoring a lot of other factors like electronics, emissions and regulations and so on
