we'll see about that - untested as far as I know.
They announced the very creatively named "SuperVeyron" with 1600bhp shooting for a speed or 288mph.
I don't think the Veyron will ever catch it in acceleration - Veyron has a power to weight ratio of 0.63hp/kg. The Venom's is a whopping 1.00hp/kg. Especially considering the Venom tests were done in full leather interior trim, stereo, a/c, and on 93 octane with DOT tires

it's going to come down to carefully planned aerodynamics. At that speed the air is so dense that acceleration is next to impossible. You need to balance the deflection of the air around the car with the funneling of air into the engine. When Top Gear did the Veyron special one of James May's factoids was that at top speed the Veyron needed to suck in 9,900 imp gallons of air per minute (as much as a human breathes in four days)!

morning guys
sounds like we're going the 10th? I gotta finish these sway bar links, while working on it last night I decided I should change the bushings on the sway bar itself while I'm at it

You need to measure yours. There's no definitive size it came with...could be 25-29mm.
