I wonder if it could leave a contrail if the temperature and humidity were right.
The speed of sound at sea level is approximately
761 MPH.
The Bugatti hit 304 MPH
Mach No is Actual speed/Speed of sound
304.7/761.6= 0.40

Holy shit it’s a few ticks from going half-sonic. Now I wanna see a mach 0.6-capable series-production car.

This run took place at Ehra-Lessien on August 2nd, 2019. The historic weather data indicates that the low was 60°F and the high was 77 °C (519.67°R to 536 .67°R) . The speed of sound a is found by taking the square root of the ratio of specific heats multiplied by the gas constant multiplied by the absolute temperature. For this day, the speed of sound ranged from sqrt(1.4*1716.49 *519.67) to sqrt(1.4*1716.49*536 .67 ), so from 1117.5 ft/s to 1135.6 ft/s, or 761.9mph to 774.3mph .
The top speed being 304.77mph, the Mach ratio wa s roughly between 0.4000 and 0.3936, not accounting for the temperature at the track surface.
