According to that list, the fastest is 295 mph ≈ 474 km/h

If they were going that fast, they wouldn't be getting a simple citation that could be resolved in traffic court, that's straight to jail levels of recklessness...

that's faster than most helicopters, if they've got a long enough straight, they're getting away lol

If they've got the gas for it.

A Bugatti Chiron can do 440km/h. If the 100 litre tank was filled at the beginning, then the car will travel for 9 minutes at top speed before running out of gas.

i guess if I've got Bugatti money I've probably got money for a helicopter of my own, why the hell am I going 440kph in traffic lmao
