Limiting the speed of the car led to stripping it of its title or world record as the fastest car in the world that it gained in 2010 as it is necessary for keeping the record to leave the speed as it is without being changed. Finally, after many discussions, rumors and too many companies which claimed to have the car that is ranked as the fastest car in the world, Veyron was officially proved and announced as the fastest production car in the world by Guinness to regain its title or record back. Guinness made sure that limiting the speed did not affect or change the engine of the car or the design.
