"The title of the world's fastest production car has changed hands between France's Bugatti and America's SSC. But there's soon to be a new brand in pursuit of the title - Hennessey. The American tuner, best known for its mind-blowing Vipers, Camaros and Cadillacs, is looking to set a new title with this, the Venom GT"

The R35 isn't even close to being a top speed record holder.

R35 - 193mph
Veyron - 253mph
Veyron Super Sport - 267mph
Hennessey Venom GT - 267mph

Amazing but how long will it take once someone pays for one to actually get it, or will multiple lawsuits have to come first ?

So many people claiming to have a car that will beat the Bugatti's top speed record. Yet none have done it yet.
I thought bench racing was something conducted in online forums, not in press releases by manufacturers.
If you recall, Bugatti never said a single thing about the Super Sport coming out or predicting what its top speed would be. They only announced it after they broke the record. Unlike all these wannabees trying to drum up interest by making wild predictions before they even hit the track.

Has anyone looked at their gallery to see the engine bay pics? Venom GT Official Site
The yellow car doesn't even have mufflers - from the turbos the exhaust exits straight out the back (completely open pipes). The silver car has mufflers in place where the straight pipes would usually go, but there's no cats.
How can a car that's not even street legal (emissions legal) claim to hold any records for anything?
If you look at the dyno test run and the acceleration videos they were made with the yellow car with the open pipes.
Hennessey = massive fail.
