There’s a new record holder for the fastest car in the world, the Hennessey Venom GT.
The Venom broke the record by accelerating from zero to 186 mph in
13.63 seconds, reports CelebrityNetworth.com. The previous record
holder, Koenigsegg Agera R, made that acceleration mark in 14.53
seconds. The Agera R had broken the Bugatti Veyron’s earlier record only
six months ago.
Bugatti still has bragging rights, though. While the Venom GT hit 205
on the straightaway, neither it nor the Agera R came close to breaking
the Veyron’s top-speed record of 268 mph. However, the Venom team
believes 270 mph is an achievable goal for the car on the right test
track.
The Venom GT comes with a sticker price of $1.4 million. That’s
affordable compared to the Veyron’s $2.4 million. It remains the most
expensive, if not always the fastest, car in the world.
