Hennessey Venom GT becomes The World's Fastest Car at 475 kh/m (270.49 mph)
American carmaker Hennessey has done it again! The Hennessey Venom GT
set a new world speed record for 2-seat sports cars by reaching a top
speed of 270.49 mph (435.31 km/h). Powered by a 7.0-litre twin-turbo
GM-sourced V8 engine with 1,244-horsepower the Venom has dethroned the
Bugatti Veyron.
“I knew the car had it in it, but it’s a thrill to officially validate the Venom GT’s 270-mph speed,” said Hennessey CEO Don Goldman. “Venturing anywhere above 200 mph—let alone 270—is not to be taken lightly, and we’re elated to have accomplished our goal.”
The test was performed on
February 14, 2014 at the Kennedy Space Center on the 3.2-mile Space
Shuttle landing runway. Watch the video below to see the record-breaking
run.
