Default 283mph Standing Mile

http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/...-center-45612/ Unbelievable that it can accelerate that quick from a standing start. Nearly 460 KM/H. Crazy

Yeah I realise that but for a street car that's unreal,the previous record was another TT GT but this is 20 MP/H quicker so that's a big jump.
