The wind speed you quote is an exaggeration.
The top wind speed measured on the continent is just under 200Km per hour. It is caused by the Katabatic winds that fall downhill from the polar plateau, which is about 2,835m above sea level. These winds are caused by gravity and the rotation of the earth.

Windchill in Antarctica is the same phenomenon as windchill anywhere on earth: the ambient temperature plus the wind speed, determine the windchill temperature. Antarctica is the windiest continent on earth, it is also the coldest continent on earth. With ambient temperatures colder than minus 100 degrees F, and wind speeds up to almost 200 MPH, depending on where you are on the continent, the windchill temperature is cold, very cold or very, very cold. Windchill in Antarctica can be lethal.
