I have proof from wikipedia. these are quotes

 

"The SSC Aero is an American-built mid-engine sports car by Shelby SuperCars. Its higher-performance limited production version, the SSC Ultimate Aero TT,[1] is currently the fastest production car in the world, with a fastest recorded speed of 413 km/h (257 mph).[2] This speed was reportedly achieved during tests on September 13, 2007 in West Richland, Washington, United States and verified by Guinness World Records on October 9, 2007."

 

"Styling of the Aero includes the use of butterfly doors similar to those found on the Mercedes/McLaren SLR, Saleen S7, Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR, and the Ferrari Enzo. Carbon fiber and titanium are used throughout the car, helping to limit the weight to 2,850 lb (1,293 kg) for the standard Aero. Rumors persist that the Ultimate Aero TT is nothing more than a stripped down racing version of the base Aero (rumors that the car has no air conditioning for example), however such claims have been proven false.[5][6]. The engine in the base Aero model is a supercharged 382 cu in (6.26 L) V8 engine rated at 1,062 hp (792 kW) at 6600 rpm and 1,001 ft·lbf (1,357 N·m) at 5800 rpm, with the supercharger at 8 psi and running on 91 octane gasoline. The Ultimate Aero has increased engine displacement of 387 cu in (6.34 L) and increased boost of 14 psi, resulting in 1,046 hp (780 kW) at 6950 rpm and 821 ft·lbf (1,113 N·m) at 6200 rpm, running on 91 octane gasoline.[6]. Wind tunnel testing indicates that the Ultimate Aero could theoretically reach a top speed of 273 mph (439 km/h) given appropriate transmission gear ratios, although the supplied transmission would result in 259.8 mph (418 km/h)[6] at the car's redline."

 

"SSC announced they had broken the speed record for the world's fastest production car with 254.05 mph (408.85 km/h) in West Richland, WA on September 13, 2007. The reported record speed came from an average of two runs in opposite directions, in accordance with Guinness Book of World Records rules. The first run clocked 254.41 mph (409.43 km/h) and the return trip 254.88 mph (410.19 km/h), with the average beating the Bugatti Veyron's top speed of 253 mph (407.164032000 km/h). The results of this test, verified by Guinness World Records on October 9, 2007, gave the SSC Ultimate Aero the title of world's fastest production car, with an average speed of 409.20 km/h (Template:Convert/)."
