In 2015, Radim Passer reached a speed of 250 mph (402.5 km / h) while driving a Bugatti Veyron on the German Autobahn. That means he covered a distance of 111 meters every second. Now, six years later, he has decided to do the same but now with the Bugatti Chiron.

Before attempting to set a new record, the car was handed over for a detailed inspection at the Bugatti plant in Molsheim. Safety was a priority, so he decided to break the speed record early in the morning on the Autobahn A2. The section of the A2 was a 3 lane, 10 km straightaway with a light descent in the middle, so there was visibility along the whole stretch.

At 4:50 AM, when there was no traffic, he got out on the Autobahn A2. Deactivating the speed limiter meant that the Chiron could go faster than 237 mph (381 kph). Entering the Autobahn, he pressed the speed pedal and reached a top speed of 257 mph (414 kph). After that, he celebrated the success with his friends, and thanked God that everything went safely.
