When Toyota made that 3:29.930 in 1999, they hit 352 km/h on the Mulsanne, while a Nissan R390 GT1, while hitting 326 km/h in 1998, had a best qalifying lap of over 3:40. So I just think the Audi must have gone faster than that. if any of you know about it...

Current cars have more drag than the sliippery '99 cars, hence the differing top speeds, plus it seems current cars are increasingly running more downforce, which seems to have worked for Audi over the years.
