Do mean production car or just a protoype ? I think either the Bugatti Veyron or the Shelby Supercar Ultimate Aero as both have topped the 400 km/h. The Koenigsegg and the McLaren F1 are also very fast cars!!
F1 cars aren't street legal so they can't really be compared. I remember Honda was attempting a Formula 1 land speed record with a modified F1 car at Bonneville flats and reached 397 km/h. During prior tests on a track the car reached 413 km/h.
The top speed for a Formula 1 car during a race was 369.9 set in 2004 by Antonio Pizzonia in the BMW Williams at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza
