Hennessey Venom GT is capable of acceleration from 0 to 300 kmph in 13.63 seconds, due to which it has been declared as the fastest production car by Guinness World Records.

This 1244 hp supercar was put to the test by Guinness World Records Team and VBox officials, making the vehicle perform two runs in opposite directions in a span of one hour. Photo Gallery (30 images) 

This was recorded on the VBox 3i GPS based data logging system at Ellington Airport in south east Houston, Texas. On test, the Lotus Elise based model fitted with Corvette ZR1 6.2 liter V8 LS9 engines completed the task in a matter of 13.18 seconds with a 4 mph tailwind. The second test saw the vehicle make a 14.08 second 6 mph headwind run. This prestigious record was earlier held by Koenigsegg Agera R that required 17.68 seconds time while the 1200 hp Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is capable of completing the same task in 22.2 seconds or 7.7 seconds slower than Venom GT.

Venom GT is powered by a LS9 7.0 twin turbocharged V8 engine capable of 1244 hp and 1155 lb/ft torque. It weighs 2743 pounds and costs $1.2 million. Tags: Hennessey Venom GT, +Hennessey Venom , +Hennessey Venom +Guinness World Records +Racelogic VBOX +bugatti veyron +Veyron Bugatti +Bugati Veyron +Bugatti Veyron Super Sport +Bugatti Veyron SuperSport +Bugatti Veyron Grant Super Sport +Koenigsegg CCXR +Koenigsegg Agera r +koenigsegg AGERA R +koenigsegg Agera +koenigsegg AGERA R +Koenigsegg Officiel
