The new American sports car, Hennessey Venom GT has now become the fastest production car in the world after reaching a top speed of 270.49 mph during a run on landing strip at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This barely tops the record speed of 269.86 mph made by Bugatti Veyron Super Sport with just 0.63 mph. But still it’s a great accomplishment for the US to finally be able to beat the French car-maker.
“If we could run on an 8-mile oval we could go faster than that. On the very top end there was a little wandering but, hey, we’re going 270 mph! The Venom GT didn’t required any big corrections, and the Michelins held traction really well,” said Brian Smith, the guy who drove the car at this insane speed.
