Yep, your right, you should never trust factory claims (the Vector WX-3 is proof of that) the 226 Mph is unofficial factory figures for the first high speed test, since I doubt they have produced enough cars yet to be called "production" there is no point in doing an official timed top speed run.

If you watch the video on the link you will see/hear that Top Gear only got 174 mph because they were using an old runway and so ran out of space before the cars top speed was reached (the Pagani Zonda got 170 mph on the same track)

and as for production numbers I have no idea "not many" would be my guess as far as I know no official or unofficial production numbers exist. How many cars do you have to make/sell to be called production? 50? 100? does anybody know the real figure? or know where I could find out?
