2014 World’s Fastest Production Car (170+ mph)
American-Made Hennessey Venom GT
There is only one Winner, and the American-Made Hennessey Venom GT is it
(or is it?)
Clocking in at just over 170 MPH, the Hennessey edged out the previous Crown Holder, the lightning-fast Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which hit top speed of 168 mph.
Of course, just like any close match in Sports or Politics, you have many that cry, "Foul". Although certified by the governing agency to have reached the winning speed, it turns out that the run did not meet all of the specified criteria. Seems that the main issue was that the Hennessey only made one run, and not the two run requirement in order to be listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. Bummer...
Do we see another Ali / Frazier match-up? Let's hope so. There can be only one true fastest product car. In my mind, the Hennessey is it. It's a Huge title and honor, so let's get a rematch, and settle it for all.
btw... Interested in purchasing a new 2014 Hennessey Venom GT? It will only set you back a cool $950,000 (plus of course Fees). Happy Driving!
