What is the top speed of a Bugatti?

Bugatti's top speed is 304 mph. Below is additional information: The invention and application of braking systems: In 1900, Wilhelm Maybach invented the earliest drum brake, which was first used on carriages in 1902 and became a standard feature on automobiles by the 1920s. Drum brakes, also known as block brakes, operate by pressing brake shoes against a brake drum to achieve braking. The mainstream design of drum brakes places internally expanding brake shoes on the inside of the brake drum. During braking, the brake shoes are pushed outward to press against the inner surface of the drum, achieving the braking effect. As one of the earliest invented brake types, drum brakes are low-cost and relatively simple in structure, leading to widespread adoption at the time. However, drum brakes also have certain drawbacks. Their heat dissipation is poor, making them prone to thermal fade during braking, which reduces braking performance. In complex driving conditions requiring frequent braking, drum brakes perform inconsistently. Due to their low cost, drum brakes are still used on some economy cars today, primarily for the rear wheels (where braking load is relatively small) and for parking brakes.
