SSC Tuatara. Richmond, WA based supercar maker.
Just ran a two way average of 316 mph on a regular run of the mill highway (closed for safety) on Michelin tires you can buy at your local tire store. That'd be like driving from Storrs to Baltimore in one hour.
Over two one-way runs, the Tuatara averaged 316.11 mph. The quickest run, at 331.15 mph, broke the previous one-way record of 284.6 mph, set by Koenigsegg on the same stretch of road in 2017, by 46.6 mph. Another notable speed record by a production car happened in September 2019, when a Bugatti Chiron reached 304.773 mph on the Ehra-Lessien test track in Germany.

1750-HP SSC Tuatara Sets Record for Fastest Production Car
Oliver Webb piloted the $1.9 million hypercar past 300 mph and past the mark Koenigsegg set in 2017.
