I’m thinking it might be faster than the Bugatti Veyron (better power/weight, better aerodynamics), and they intentionally governor-limited it to prevent hype about its top speed from overshadowing its other capabilities.
Its all about the gearbox. In terms of the engine and weight and everything you have said, it very likely is more capable of a higher speed. The issue is that they will have specifically catered the gears for super short changes and super fast acceleration, as it is more of a track weapon than the veyron a shorter range on the gearbox is far better for this.
It’s probably never been tested with the limiter off
