FASTEST CAR IN THE WORLD
As well as being the fastest car on the planet, the Hennessey Venom GT holds the official Guinness World Record for the fastest production car to accelerate from 0-300km/h (0-186mph), managing to do it in 13.63 seconds.
The current Venom GT costs around $1million and features a 7.0liter twin-turbo V8 producing 1,244hp. Just 29 have been built, another reason why the car can’t make it into the Guinness record books.
The Venom GT comes with a sticker price of $1.4 million. That’s affordable compared to the Veyron’s $2.4 million. It remains the most expensive, if not always the fastest, car in the world
Hennessey, a boutique automaker
based in Sealy, Texas, mainly used components from other manufacturers to
create its super-fast Venom GT. That's fine, according to the generally
accepted definition of a production car: As long as a specific quantity -- at least
30 -- are built. However, 30 Venom GTs don't exist yet, and the company says it
plans to build only 29. So a hand-built vehicle consisting of a stretched Lotus
Exige body and a 7-liter, Corvette Z06 engine, boosted by two turbochargers, may or
may not be a legit contender, depending on who you ask. On Feb. 14, 2014, the
Hennessey Venom GT set out to take down the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, anyway.
The Hennessey Venom GT is so fast it
needed to borrow real estate from NASA. That's right. The space shuttle's
landing strip was the setting for the Venom GT's 270.49-mile-per-hour
(435.3-kilometer-per-hour) run. However, John Hennessey, the company's founder,
said that NASA only allowed one run, making it ineligible for the Guinness
record based on the back-to-back run standard. Even if the result isn't
official, the Venom GT's GPS-qualified run stole some of the Veyron Super
Sport's thunder.
