Why do 250 mph (400 km/h) supercars have 0.40+ Cds?

Bugatti Veyron Cd 0.41 normal 0.36 lowered and preventing rear spoiler from deploying

Hennessey Venom GT 0.43 rear wing raised, 0.36 rear wing down

Koenigsegg One:1 0.45-0.50

They don't make THAT much downforce. At least not compared to all out racecars.
Are high Cd figures from cooling drag?
