On February 9, 2013 the Hennessey Venom GT ran 265.7 mph on the 2.9 mile long runway at Naval Air Station Lemoore, California. This makes the Venom GT the fastest hypercar that you can buy.


If you want some specs on this vehicle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hennessey_Venom_GT

Oh, and if you wanna buy one, prices start at $600,000 US...start saving, kids.

Total awesomeness

So wait is this just a heavily modified Lotus with a different badge? I'd still prefer this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_Atom. The newest Atom, the Ariel Atom 3 is only $56,480 USD

It nice and all but when you've seen top-fuel dragsters do the scary side of 330mph down the quarter mile, it's a bit bit meh lol.

Waste of money...

For those with money to waste.

We have no autobahn here in the states so you'd never get this puppy out of third gear without risking jail time.

I'd prefer a car that goes 0 to 60 in a few seconds, where you can lay a C note on the dash and offer it to your passenger... if they can grab it during acceleration.

I'm of the same mind. But, hey, if I could own this car and a nice cruiser I will have the best of both worlds!

Mh, the only thing I would do in case I would own that thing is to sell it instantly to the next best guy and buy me a fine horse.

Real men, ride horses!
