Will Hennessey Performance break SSC's World Record?
In 2010, Hennessey Performance unveiled the Hennessey Venom GT, a high performance sports car based on a modified Lotus Elise/Exige chassis and components.
The car has a 7.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 that produces 1244 hp to the rear wheels and weighs 1,244 kg.
On February 14th, 2014, Hennessey claimed that the Venom GT set a new world record with a top speed of 270.49 mph in 2.3 miles at the Kennedy Space Center's shuttle landing strip in Florida.
Unfortunately, according to John Hennessey (Founder), NASA only allowed the car to run in a single direction and not the required two, and Guinness World Records would not certify the attempt.
Although the record has been within reach, Hennessey Performance has yet to claim the top speed for a production vehicle.
With the unveiling of their new Venom F5, it seems that another attempt is coming soon.

Meet the Driver and Owner of the Record Breaking Fastest Car | Driven Profiles
มุมมอง 3.3K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Our first episode of Driven Profiles introduces you to the owner and driver of SSC Tuatara #001, Dr. Larry Caplin. After a controversial attempt in October 2020, Dr. Caplin decided that, in order to see this record through, he would assume the risks and step into his own driver's seat to get the car to a top speed. An avid collector and Ferrari race car driver, we get an inside look into what i...

      Bugatti doesn't have a record they only did a one way attempt. To take the record you need 2 way or going the opposite directions. Everyone knows this by now. Why don't you? You take the average of the 2 runs for a record speed

      Bugatti only did a way direction run AND they didn't have a 3rd party to verify the speed like Racelogic or Guniess World Records etc. So the top speed record was still the Agera RS at 277mph and no the SSC holds it at 282.9mph
