US engineers develop world's fastest car Venom GT - The Times of India

WASHINGTON: US engineers have developed the world's fastest carwith a top speed of an incredible 435 kilometres per hour.
US firm Hennessey's Venom GTset the new record for the fastest car in the world during a test run at the Kennedy Space Centrein Florida.
Venom beat the previous best record of 431km/h set by Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.
Venom GT is a stretched Lotus Exige with a 7.0-litre, 927kW twin-turbo V8 wedged between its axles.
The record is impressive as test driver Brian Smith started from rest, broke the record and stopped on a 5.1-kilometre stretch of tarmac rather than using an high-speed oval to give the car a running start, " Drive.com" reported.
"If we could run on an 8-mile (12.8km) oval we could go faster than that," Smith said.
However, Bugatti will retain its place in the Guinness book of records, the report said.
The independently verified Hennessey speed will not go into the book as the Venom could only be driven one way on the Nasa landing strip.
The book requires cars to make runs in two directions to account for variables including gradients and wind direction.

lol.....

That they made the fastest car in the world that only goes in one direction is a great continuation of the mantra that US cars are good only for a straight line.
 
Nobody bombs JEW USA, so they can have time studying, inventing & attracting brains all over the world

JEW USA always bully other people and destroy what they build
 
@MastanKhan is this car or locmotive?

May be guzzling 20 or 30 gallons of fuel in under 10 minutes while driving at over 200 miles per hour, and may be over 10 radiators working hard to keep the temperature of the monster inside the bonnet under control...!!! Definitely sounds like a locomotive... isn't it..??:bounce::bounce:

Not their fault:

As the feat wasn't repeated in the opposite direction, the run isn't officially recognized. According to Top Gear, the boffins at NASA wouldn't allow a return run.

Watch the Hennessey Venom GT break 270 mph, setting a new record — of sorts | Motoramic - Yahoo Autos
