===World's fastest production car=== On February 28, 2005, the [[Koenigsegg CCR]] used a modified, Rotrex supercharged Ford Modular 4-valve DOHC 4.6 L V8, which produced 806 hp (601 kW), to achieve a top speed of 241 mph (388 km/h). {{citation needed span|This engine used a bore of 94.6 mm (3.725") and a stroke of 94 mm (3.700).|date=November 2018|reason=This combination of bore and stroke results in a 5.3 L displacement, while the CCR has a reported 4.7 L engine}} The bore was achieved using Darton M.I.D. Sleeves. This certified top speed was recorded on February 28, 2005, in [[Nardò]], Italy, and broke the [[McLaren F1]]'s world record for fastest production car.<ref>[http://www.koenigsegg.com/record_pressrelease.asp Koenigsegg World Record Press Release<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080522085519/http://www.koenigsegg.com/record_pressrelease.asp |date=2008-05-22 }}</ref> The accomplishment was recognized by [[Guinness World Records]] in 2005, who gave the Koenigsegg CCR the official title of "World's Fastest Production Car."
