No. There has been a tornado with wind speeds of 302 mph +/20 mph. That was recorded by Doppler on wheels. So winds may have been over 318 mph which was the upper limit of F5 winds on the original Fujita scale. However the Fujita Scale scale is based on damage, not wind speed (the wind speeds for each category are only estimates) and F5 damage is complete destruction, that tornado was rate F5.

On the Enhanced Fujita Scale the is no EF6 category at all. EF5 wind estimates have no upper bound.
