What’s the fastest you’ve ever driven? On this subject, there’s always a good story involved -- some combination of an empty road, a fast car, and possibly nudity and/or police involvement. For this one, we loaded up 2,600HP and $2mm in supercars and headed out to the Everglades, along with Ezra Dyer and the team from Automobile Magazine for our famous 200MPH Challenge supercar driving event. (Hilarity ensues.)

Ezra reports:

“We spend the morning getting a feel for the cars, and after lunch the main event begins. Since my personal record -- an indicated 206 mph, in a country that I should probably avoid from now on -- occurred in an SLR McLaren 722, I choose the SLR for my first run. With an instructor riding alongside, I hit 198 mph. Almost there.”

Watch the two-part story here:

“Anecdotally, most people’s high speeds seem to be about 125 mph. Unless you go to Bonneville or enter the Silver State Classic, there’s no way to explore the potential of a powerful car without risking jail time. That’s where World Class Driving‘s 200-mph Club comes in. WCD gives you the tools to hit 200 -- fast cars and a long runway -- and it’s up to you to do it.”

“I hit the corner onto the runway tidily enough, keeping the car below the threshold of stability-control intervention. By 195 mph, the braking zone is blurring toward us but the speedometer is approaching 200 like a nerd asking the prom queen for a dance. But I’m not settling for 199, which is what we’re at when I reach the braking zone. Phillippe yells encouragement to keep my foot down for a split-second more, and the speedometer kisses 200 just before I stand on the brakes and pour a furnace kiln of kinetic energy into the Gallardo’s rotors. I’m a member of WCD’s 200-mph Club.”
