I'm so lucky

This past weekend I had a once in a lifetime chance to go for a ride in the worlds fastest production car and it was awesome, the Koenigsegg makes my RX8 seem like a Corolla.

I've been keeping an eye on this car for the past few years. I absolutely love them; my favorite supercar :D . But something I don't understand is that the company claims that the car will top out faster than an McLaren F1, but they haven't been able to offically get a top run speed out of the 220's. So how can they claim that it is the fastest production car? And why haven't they put forth a decent effort to get a solid top speed run with the car?

you guys should try to find the Top Gear where Clarkson tests the Konigsegg, it's awesome. I can't find it though.
