I will not believe this until the stig off of top gear has had his hands on it.

The Barabus TKR is a supercar built by Barabus Sportscars Limited. Its V8 twin turbo engine has 1005 horsepower at 6800 RPM, and is claimed to be capable of accelerating from 0-60 MPH in 1.67 seconds and a top speed of 270 MPH. Many car enthusiasts are skeptical about these figures[1] because theoretical tyre grip that would be required to accelerate a vehicle that quickly can only be provided by a slick tire[citation needed] designed especially for racing, and slick tires are not road legal.
Although very little is known about the manufacturer [2], Barabus claims the TKR will be faster than the Bugatti Veyron at about half the price; [3] the Veyron costing £810,000 (US$1,300,000) while the TKR has a suggested retail price of £360,000 (US$670,000)[4]

Anyone can claim 250 or more mph. Doesn't prove anything.
Officially, the fastest road legal car is the Callaway Corvette Sledgehammer, a twin turbo modified (but road legal) Corvette.
Way back in 1989, it did 254.76 mph (actually timed) on a high speed test track in Ohio. It was actually driven from Connecticut to Ohio, not trailered.

Google Callaway Corvette Sledgehammer ohio for more references.
I challenge anyone to find a Veyron or a Barabus official speed record (not simply a claim or a speedometer based report) that's faster.
