hi guys

Hennessy has test venom gt in 2 miles the car has new record 265.7 mph

The interesting is the engine of the car is from gm ls7 7.0 twin turbo 1244 hp

and Bugatti has test his supersport in 4 mile running track And reached just 258 mph

Hennessy Says it will test the car to To reach top speed in this car

 

Hell yes!!!

 

True craftsmanhsip

 

Very nice... but im confused at the record here. The Bugatti Veyron was originally 253mph and was beaten by the SSC ultimate aero. Then Bugatti reclaimed the title at 267mph.

267>265

I understand the Venom GT has potential to go faster... i just dont get why its not compared to 267.

 

bugatti super sport get 258 in 4 mile

venom gt gets 265.7 in 2 mile !!!

thay will test car in oval Circuit We'll see what happens

 

hey look an overpriced piece of ****

brb hit a hole engine falls out

 

super sport has gone 267....thats a fact. Not sure where this video got its info from.

Original Bugatti went 253....then was beaten by the Ultimate aero... then retook the title with the super sport...

 

I'll clear this up real quick:

Hennessey is claiming the production car top speed record, after its $1.2 million Venom GT hit 265.7 mph on an airstrip in California. The 1,244 hp coupe accelerated for two miles down a runway at US Naval Air Station Lemoore on February 9th with test driver Brian Smith at the wheel, and was still gaining momentum when it reached the braking zone. The peak speed was recorded by an onboard VBOX data logger, and the run witnessed by a journalist from Top Gear magazine. But there’s controversy behind the claim.

The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport currently holds the Guinness-recognized top speed record of 267.8 mph, which, per Guinness rules, was the average of two runs in opposite directions over a flying kilometer. It was set at a 12-mile-long test track owned by Bugatti’s parent company Volkswagen, one of the few places on earth that could accommodate such a test.

The hitch is that most Veyron Super Sports are electronically limited to 258 mph due to the unreliability of their tires above that speed, opening the door to Hennessey's claim that the Venom GT is the fastest production car you can buy. However, a representative for Bugatti tells FoxNews.com that five "World Record Edition" cars were delivered to customers without the limiter and that all Veyron Super Sports are capable of being unlocked to hit the 267.8 mph top speed.

Nevertheless, given access to a facility similar to VW’s, Hennessey says the Venom GT could easily hit 275 mph, and you can be sure he’ll be looking for one soon.

In the meantime, as far as Guinness records are concerned, the Venom GT already has one of those under its belt. At a separate event earlier this year, it accelerated from 0-300 kmh (186.4 mph) in 13.63 seconds, handily breaking the previous record of 17.68, which was held by the Koenigsegg Agera R from Sweden, not the Veyron.

So because the Bugatti is produced with a limited speed of 258, Hennessey can claim that the Venom is the fastest production car.

 

I'm not impressed by the number they came up with such as price. 1.2 million for a lotus kit car with a monster LS7?

Sorry Hennessy you have a impressive machine and all but its no Bugatti. Clearly the Bugatti is slightly faster.


Take care

 

thanks for the good info. No doubt the venom will go faster then 265 as it was still pulling very hard before it reached the end of the pass

 

Too bad its way over priced.

 

Hennessy will experience the car in the oval circuit we will see What will happen

 

U-S-A powa

 

Are you high? It took the venom 2 miles to do what the Bugatti did in 5. Venom holds the 0-300 kph record and it was still pulling like a freight train at the end of its 2 mile run. That's a hell of a car for the money, and clearly it's not the same class of luxury performance as the Bugatti, but it's main goal was to be the fastest with no compromises in performance. And you can change the oil yourself lol!

 

All of this

 

How the hell is this a "production" car? Its a damn MODDED LOTUS!! A tuner car. The car was built with aftermarket parts by a performance shop. This is no different than the FGT's at the Texas Mile. Those cars reach this speed in 1 mile not 2...

 

This .

Plus thats like comparing a modded fourth gen Camaro to a stock CTS-V. Yea, the Camaro may be a bit faster at the track, but you can't say with a straight face that its a better buy then the CTS-V for 100% of people. Sure, some may want to spend less and go faster, but others would rather ride in luxury with all the modern conveniences and be a little slower.

They are two different types of cars, the only similarity being both are ridiculously expensive and ridiculously powerful.

 

Exactly.

imo Bugatti>Venom GT all day

 

No **** lol The FGT has been faster in 1 mile.

 

SOMEBODY had to say it!

The Texas Mile cars SMASH these wannabes with ease...

Congrats to the also rans, but needing 2 miles or more to reach what another car does in 1 mile somehow loses some of its punch in the "bragging rights" department.
