Hennessey Venom GT, The World's Fastest Sports Car
1. Automotive manufacturers from the United States
Automotive manufacturer from the United States, Hennessey managed to compete with Bugatti in developing supercars. Its product, named Venom GT, is capable of racing up to 435.31 km/hour. Now the fastest car in the world is priced at USD 1.4 million
Hennessey Venom GT, a new super car is claimed to be the fastest commercial car in the world. The super car broke the speed record previously set by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.
Hennessey Venom GT does have amazing speed. The car, which was made with funds between 600 thousand to 1 million United States Dollars, is able to penetrate speeds of 436 kilometers per hour.
2. Breaking the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport record
This figure broke the previous record held by the French manufacturer's Bugatti Veyron Super Sport to penetrate a top speed of 431.072 km / h. Four years ago, Bugatti was named the fastest sports car with it.
Venom can reach top speed more than that, if driven on a longer track. In fact, the speed test itself has been carried out on the runway of the space shuttle Kennedy Space Center, Florida, which has a length of 5.6 kilometers.
Although managed to break the speed record for a commercial car, Venom has not been listed in the Guinness world record book. The reason, Guinness requires the existence of two speed testing. In addition, at least 30 types of commercial cars must be produced, while only 29 Venom GTs have been produced. (The Verge)
