My list of production cars to first achieve 100s top speeds.
First to achieve:
100 kph-1903 Mercedes Simplex
100 mph-1919 Bugatti Type 23 Brescia
200 kph-1932 Duesenberg Model SJ
300 kph-1982 Lamborghini Countach LP500 S
200 mph-1987 Ferrari F40
400 kph-2005 Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4
No 300 mph or 500 kph yet but they are getting close.This is my opinion and to the best of my knowledge, that is, if I'm not joking
