Hennessey C7 Stingray hits 200mph


I love the new Corvette C7 Stingray; it's fast, beautiful and sounds great. The 6.2L V8 engine produces 460hp which is enough to offer good performance, such as a top speed of 190mph (305 kph) and a sprint to 60 mph (100 kph) in just 3.8s. But what if, you want more from this american muscle?

New record for the Hennessey Venom GT



To give you a better idea of what is a fast car, here you can see the recent Guinness World Record acclaimed by the Hennessey Venom GT. With an incredible acceleration from 0 to 300 kph (0-186mph) in just 12.63 seconds, this car is the world's fastest production car for this speed, almost 1 second faster than the previous record holder, the Koenigsegg Agera R. How can it be so fast? Power/Weight ratio is the key of the Venom GT. It weighs just 1220kg and under the hood takes place a massive twin turbo 6.8L V8 engine that produces 1200hp!

World's fastest street legal car!

The Ford GT is a pretty good supercar, but if you tune it, it can really be badass. Recently, a twin turbo Ford GT with the incredible power of 1700hp has set a new Guinness World Record, by accelerating up to 283.232 mph (455.82 km/h) in a standing mile! With this astonishing result, this Ford GT modified by Performance Power Racing is street legal, and so it's the world's fastest one!


The video of the world's fastest Ford GT didn't showed us much action about the record attempt, so why not, let's take a look at another recent attempt of another modified Ford GT, this time by Hennessey Performance which sets up a top speed record at Texas Mile with a 263.3 mph (423,74 km/h) run. In the video we can enjoy the onboard camera and an external shoot of the GT.
