About The Hennessey Venom GT

On January 21, 2013, the Venom GT set a Guinness World Rec ord
for the fastest production car from 0-300 kilometres per hour (0- 186 mph)
with an average acceleration time of 13.63 seconds.
In add ition, the car set an unofficial
record for 0-200 mph (0-322 km/h) accel eration
at 14.51 seconds, beating the Koenigsegg Agera R's time of 17.68
seconds, making it the unofficial fastest
accelerating production car in th e world.
On April 3, 2013, the Hennessy Venom GT crested 265.7 mph (427.6 km/h) over
the course of 2 miles (3.2 km) during testing at United States Naval Air Sta
tion Lemoore in Lemoore, California. Hennessey used two VBOX 3i data logging
systems to document the run and had VBOX officials on hand to certify the numbers.
On February 14, 2014, on the Kennedy Space Center’s 3.22-mile
(5.18 km) shuttle landing strip in Florida, the Hennessey team recorded a top
speed of 270.49 mph (435.31 km/h) with Director of Miller Motorsport Park,
Brian Smith, driving. As the run was in a single direction, and only 16 cars
have been sold to date (to qualify Hennessey must build 30), it does not qualify
as the world's fastest production car in the Guinness Book of Records.
