Hennessey Venom GT is Faster than the Bugatti Chiron

Tushar Kelshikar , , ,

The Hennessey Venom GT has quietly broken the world speed record for a production car by going faster than the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. Given the Veyron SS is quicker than the new Chiron which is electronically limited to 267 mph (allegedly), it is safe to say that the Venom GT is faster than the $2.5 million Chiron. In a press release sent out by Hennessey Performance, John Hennessey said, “building and validating our Venom GT as the world’s fastest has been a long journey and a lot of hard work but…
