Hello everybody. I'm working under some article for my private web page and I'm looking for street/track cars with max speed at least 400 kph (248 mph). No matter if this speed was reached or only established, no matter if car is or is not in production and no matter if it really exists or is it only advanced computer vision (as Audi R-Zero). It just must be "ordinary" wheel-driven street/track car (no jet car or any of Bonneville's streamliners or cars from Land Speed Record which won't never enter the street or track, etc). Quite simple? Or maybe not...
So, this is what I've found (+ edits with your help) already (car name, max speed in kph [est or reached], additional info, doubts):
