Ferrari has already stated they have no goals of beating the McLAren F1 in terms of top speed with the F60. Projected top speed is 207 mile sper hour. However they believe they will faster then the McLaren from 0-60 and down the quarter mile. As the years march on someone will knock McLaren off the top speed list. These days manuafctures know 0-60 times and quarter mile times is enough to get most buyers excited.

I would not be surprised to see VW/Audi create a car to take on the McLaren top speed record. Their new Bugatti is projected to go 250 miles per hour, but that has not been proven yet.

VW ran a test of their new super car with the VW badge on it. They claimed they took the 5000 miles top average speed record along with some others. Personally I would like to see one of the American car builders take a crack at McLaren. Maybe Saleen could do altered version of the S7 or someone could take the new Cadillac V-12 and stuff it into something very aerodynamic.
