If your vehicle's speed is higher than 500 km/h (or 310 mph), then your vehicle will be boosted to its full top speed when under the effects of Hyperboost.

So, for the 2018 McLaren X2, which reads up to 585 km/h on its speedometre (its real speed is around 510 km/h), it will simply be boosted up to that speed when under the effects of Hyperboost. This essentially means that the Hyperboost will not boost your speed at all, but it certainly will not slow you down to 500 km/h.

With that being said, there are still benefits to using the Hyperboost with a very fast vehicle:

1. You still get immunity to most attacks over an extended period of time (unlike the Force Field, which only blocks a single attack).

2. You can still knock other players down more effectively than if you were unboosted.

3. Your nitro remains unused for the duration of the Hyperboost.
