I just read that Porsche bought controlling interesting in VW. VW makes the Bugatti. Therefore I find it amusing that Porsche will try to outdo their subsidiary's own car. Also if they get back into Le Mans racing, what happens to the Audi R10s? I think Porsche didn't want to enter Le Mans the past few years because they were afraid.

Porsche likes to cherry pick where they race. Their Indy car was a slug, and they have never made a fast car in their entire history that did not have a blower. I have never used the top end that my car has now, what the hell is 250 plus good for?

That V10 in the CGT is a real slug and those naturally aspirated RS Spyder's look pathetic. 
Top speed is just for bragging rights. Just like dyno numbers...

It seems a cheap shot to not add at least 5 MPH. Then the Bugatti could just turn up the boost anyway.
Imagine the insurance cost

I can care less about top speed. All I care about is 5 mph to 150 mph.

Not many can afford a car like that but many can buy a 9 second 200 MPH bike. I guess they don't panick as much about cars.

I hope they test it on HITLERBAHN (Autobahn was made for Hitler to begin with)
