> 'Watch the Bugatti Chiron smash through the mythical 300 mph barrier'

There is nothing mythical about a car travelling at 300mph, it has been done before and nobody I know thinks that it is a myth. Going 300mph is not breaking a barrier, there is nothing fundamental about ticking over to 300 that is a barrier. It is a milestone.

> 'how did they do it without just completely flying apart?'

Why would it fly apart? It was designed to travel that speed and other cars have travelled that speed without flying apart. Aeroplanes travel much faster and do not fly apart, why is it a question you would even ask?
