It didn't last long, the Bugati Veron has beaten it !!
Aparently if you want to go Vmax in the Veron you have to phone Bugati, who give you a code or something, you key this in, in the car, it then goes through a check list. Only then, if it meets all the check list requirements does it relinquish the limiter.

So, there you are on the Autobarn or motorway etc, low & behold a Enzo (or similar) comes in to view ............... the race is on............. pull over, give Bugati a ring, get the code, go through the check list, then atempt to catch the Enzo that is now in another county/country.
You can't derestrict it first, cos as soon as you hit the brakes, it resets the limiter !!!!!!!! and you paid how much for it !!!!!!!
