Well if Bugatti used the original planned Engine which was a W18 (they couldn't cos of reliability issues) i think they'd be able to get about 1600/1800bhp and that would crack about 300mph easy. Its possible but like said by foreigneRS, it also depends on the Tyres and also aerodynamics of the car.

The Bloodhound is something else, I can't wait to see going for the land speed record

However for day to day use I recon it might be something like this
