The supercar has become the world's fastest production model after reaching a top speed of 270.49mph on a Nasa runway
The 800,000 Hennessey Venom GT is powered by a twin-turbocharged, seven-litre V8 engine which develops an incredible 1,244bhp
Pilot Brian Smith claims he could get another 5-10mph out of the car, but the runway in Florida was just 3.22 miles long
A supercar has become the world's fastest production model after reaching a top speed of 270mph.

American firm Hennessey has claimed for some time that its Venom GT is the fastest thing on four wheels.

But until now the firm hadn't been able to attempt beating the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport's record-breaking 269mph because it was on VW's private test track.

They will - they're spending a hell of a lot on money on the Veyron's successor. They're even cancelling production of other cars.

The new Bugatti is suppose to run over 280 mph I'm pretty sure. Only a matter of time before the Bugatti reclaims it's title.

So you can get to the track faster.

Seriously though, just because it's street legal doesn't mean it's meant to be used on the street all the time. The majority of super cars are meant to be tracked.

Look at the R35 GTR. You can't even use all of its power unless the GPS determines you're on a track.
