Camaro crashes at 220mph
Back in March 2013, a 2800hp Chevrolet Camaro (which was obviously known as the world's fastest one) has been totally wrecked while attempting a +220mph (+350 kph) run during the Texas Mile event; 10 months after the terrible crash we get to see for the first time a video crash which show the Camaro losing the control and rolling over at a ridiculous speed.

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?

Official: The P1 does sub-7m at the Green Hell
The time we have been waiting is nearly come. After a lot of testing and spy footages of the P1 around the Nürburgring, McLaren has shown their first official video regarding the attempt to break the 7 minutes barrier. They did it! But sadly, that's all we know. The lap time that McLaren has set to beat is 6:57 minutes belonging to the Porsche 918 Spyder. Now the questions is.. is the P1, faster than the 918?

GT-R Nismo laps the Nürburgring in 7:08
Do you remember the recent spy videos of the 2014 Nissan GT-R Nismo lapping the Nürburgring? Everyone expected it to be a remarkable supercar and without any disappointment today we find out that actually, it is! The extreme version tuned by Nismo produces 600hp and 652nm out the 3.8L V6 biturbo engine, but probably the information that amaze us more is the incredible lap time of 7 minutes and 8 seconds at the Nürburgring!

LaFerrari testing at the Nürburgring!
Does the LaFerrari wants to join the exclusive sub-7 minutes club of the Nürburgring? It would be exciting if Ferrari joins the battle between McLaren and Porsche to make the best lap time of the fastest street legal car, but I guess the technicians of Maranello are driving the car at the Green Hell for other reasons, the car is not yet ready and for this reason Ferrari has delaied the production to 2014, mean while both productions of the P1 and 918 Spyder have started this month.

2005hp Superleggera hits 426kph
In Soviet Russia, you fill your car with Vodka, and this makes sure that it will go faster! You have already seen videos of the crazy Lamborghini LP570-4 Superleggera by Underground Racing which produces an insane 2005hp, but now you manage to see how's it like to push in a one mile straight a car with the power twice of a Veyron!

GT-R does 382km/h in a mile
A new world record has been set by the crazy russian guys at DragTimesInfo, if you remember, back in April a GT-R tuned by AMS Alpha 12 producing an incredible 1700hp marked an even more incredible 374km/h (232 mph) in 22.7s in a mile run. This GT-R is back on the russian drag strip in order to improve his performance, and he made it successfully with a 1/4 mile covered in 22.5s at 382.16km/h (237.5)!

Nissan GT-R does 7.30m at Nürburgring
The Nürburgring is one of the most challenging racetracks in the world, driving to the limit is very dangerous and a full lap in 7:30 minutes is an absolutely great lap time, and doing it during a public trackday event with other cars driving is just incredible! This quick lap has been done with a completely stock 2012 Nissan GT-R, just sit and enjoy 20.8km of speed!

Veyron Vitesse WRC hits 408km/h!
With a top speed of 408,84km/h, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse World Record Car (pretty long name, isn't it?) is the world's fastest convertible in the world. EVO's Harry Metcalfe had the opportunity to attend the exclusive event in which Bugatti sets the world record in Germany at VW's 21km oval private test track. The full report by EVO includes the onboard footage of the Vitesse's record run, an interview with chinese driver Anthony Liu and Harry himself driving it at 350km/h. In order to reach this important goal, the Vitesse WRC produces 1200hp and 1500nm, the same amount of power of the SS WRE.

1700hp GT-R is pretty quick!
A stock Nissan GT-R is able to compete with many supercars, but a tuned one might beat with not much efforts even the most expensive hypercars in the world. This GT-R AMS Alpha set an incredible mile run record in just 22.7s with a speed of 374kmh. Just to let you know, this GT-R reached 300km/h in 12.8s which is nearly 1s faster than the Hennessey Venom GT and nearly 2s faster than the Koenigsegg Agera R and Bugatti Veyron SS. 120 octane race fuel, semi slick tires and 1700hp might have been a good help to achieve this incredible result..

McLaren 12C on a drag strip
We don't have doubts about the performance of the McLaren 12C, but it's impossible not to be surprised about this recent accomplishment on a drag strip. A completely standard 12C fitted with option light wheels, sports exhaust and carbon ceramic brakes has set a very impressive time of 10.55 seconds @ 134.56mph in the classic quarter mile, and it means that it's the second quickest road production car in the world (the record holder is still the Bugatti Veyron).
To refresh your mind, the 12C has received several upgrades over the years and now its 3.8L twin turbo V8 engine produces 616hp and 599nm, pretty surprising to know that it has beaten also the record of the Lamborghini Aventador with nearly 100hp more and the 4WD, as you know the perfect feature for a quick launch.

Saleswoman knows how to sell a Veyron
Recession, financial crisis, these words don't exist at Jack Barclay showroom in London. Anita Krizsan is not just a saleswoman, but she is possibly the most desired person for this business. Her ability to conclude a deal has become popular since she has sold 11 Bugatti Veyrons. Ehm, not in her entire career (which would be anyway a great result), but in the last 12 months! Translated into figures, these sales worth more than £13 million (€15 million), maybe she deserves more than a simple plaque as employee of the year!

What a lap! The Huayra at Top Gear!
Just like a kid in a Christmas morning, most of the petrolheads (including me) had a similar reaction to the long waited arrival of Top Gear's 19th season, HAPPINESS. To start the season in a great style, Hammond has reviewed the Pagani Huayra, the latest creation of Mr.Pagani. No wonder Hamster loves it, he has always been a huge fan of Pagani and this car had to be tested by him. To show the maximum potentiality of the italian hypercar, Stig took the drive and set a lap time of 1.13.8, which is not just a fast lap, but the fastest lap of a road production car on the Top Gear test track! The Huayra has been faster even than the track-monster Ariel Atom V8 and the Bugatti Veyron SuperSport WRE, is it enough to prove that the Huayra is damn quick?

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.
