There first car, that was built in larger numbers - as opposed to specially built speed record or race cars - was the Mercedes Benz 300 SL (Gull-wing).

The normal top speed was 235 km/h (146 mph), but with a higher gear transmission ratio of 1:3,25 (instead of the standard 1:3,64) it reached 260 km/h , equivalent to 161.5 mph.

Production was between 1954--1963. ( After May 1957 the Gull-wing was replaced by the Roadster)

There were 1400 gull-wings and 1858 roadsters built.

How do you go 300 mph?

You don't. Currently the fastest road car in production is the Bugatti Veyron, which at 1,001 horsepower, is rated at only 254 mph. Even if there were a production car capable of 300 mph, there are very few places in the entire world that you would be capable of achieving that speed at.
