This is one of the "Autobahn" cars I was talking about. It actually qualifies as a production car so it's sister car still holds the "Fastest Production Car" title, for an aborted run made in 1939 where it reached atleast 270mph. This has been mentioned before in magazines where the Corvette Sledgehammer's "record" was brought up.
