It briefly held the world speed record for a production car. The CCR is currently the fourth fastest production car in the world, behind the Bugatti Veyron, Koenigsegg CCX and the SSC Ultimate Aero TT.
The manufacturers claimed in 2005 when the car was released that the CCR is the fastest road car in the world, with a theoretical top speed of more than 394.2 km/h (244.9 mph) however, this has since been beaten by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport in June 2010 with a top speed of 431 km/h (268 mph).
