There is a thread on this over at Lambo Power. IIRC, the dude lives in Vegas, so I'm gonna guess thats where it was done. He also has a Veyron on the way, so I suppose we can expect high speed vids of that too.

PS, that color on the Lp is gorgeous.

speedo error, but it would be a good guess to say he hit at least 200. runs like these should be done GPS, like with james may and the veyron..

Agreed. The old V6 Jaguar XJ220 was 2mph shy of that mark back in 1993 lol

I dont recall seeing cars being passed... what time points where the cars at?
