| A handful of American engineers have unseated one of the world’s largest companies by building the fastest road car in the world.
The Hennessey Performance Venom GT reached 435.5km/h during a test run at the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, breaking the 431km/h record set by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.
Bugatti’s Veyron is the jewel in the Volkswagen Group’s crown, and the result of an immense research and development program, while Hennessey’s car is a stretched Lotus Exige with a 7.0-litre, 927kW twin-turbo V8 wedged between its axles.
