So, I recently saw the article on the La Ferrari Fxx K
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
And I can't help but think they aren't going to build more than a handful. This is clearly not a mass production vehicle, but can it even be considered a production vehicle with a run that low?
Does anyone know what the official definition of "Production Vehicle" is?

IIRC, they have to build 30 of them for it to be a production car. I remember there was a big fuss about the venom when it "took" the veyrons title as the fastest production car, as they had built under 30 of them

A production car is a car that gets produced, or, to make it simpler: a car that is put in to production (that is to say, built, manufactured) buy an automobile manufacturer.
In this case, Ferrari is the automobile manufacturer and they are "producing" or "putting in to production" the La Ferrari FXX K. Thus, it is a production car.

I think the number for Guinness World Records is 30.
Ref: The Hennessey Venom GT was a run of only 29 units, and was technically not production because of it. Which is why it doesn't hold a record despite the 270.5 mph run.

The FXX is not even street legal.
I like Guinesss' benchmark of a production vehicle requiring 30 units to be made. I think double-digits need to be achieved, personally.
The records get pretty weird if you start to include anything produced in less than double-digits. Think 3,000 hp tuner cars.
