- On February 14, 2014, the Hennessey Venom GT set a new world speed record for 2-seat sports cars by reaching a top speed of 270.49 mph (435.31 km/h). The test was performed at the John F. Kennedy Space Center on the 3.2-mile Space Shuttle landing runway. Brian Smith, Director of Miller Motorsports Park, drove the Venom GT to its record speed. A representative from Racelogic, world-renowned maker of VBox GPS data-acquisition systems, was on hand to independently verify and document the Venom GT's highest recorded speed. The Venom GT was powered with Pennzoil Platinum® with PurePlus™ Technology, a first of its kind synthetic motor oil made from natural gas. For more information please visit:

Venom F5 coming next!
Lots of comments about Bugatti Veyron, Guinness world record certification, etc. FYI: Bugatti ran their Veyron Grand Vitesse in 2013 with the top removed to claim a world record for fastest open top car. They ran the car in one direction only at the VW test facility in Ehra-Lessien, Germany. Guinness was not present, and Bugatti gave themselves the award anyway as the speeds were certified by the German TUV.
I absolutely love the fact that you guys are still using a manual transmission
To think at 270 MPH the car was still pulling they just ran out of runway that is pretty nuts.
Is that the fastest a go pro has ever travelled while on the ground?
I just love that Hennessey beat Bugatti with Half the cylinders, Half the turbos and a smaller engine. Can't wait for the F5.
I think he went the Pennsylvania State speed limit in first gear.
The 2,396 dislikes on this video are bugatti fans.
No, the Hennessy is faster than 270mph. I mean, you saw it, it was still pulling when they stopped it
Cop: Sir, why do you think I pulled you over?
Me: Because I let you...
0:52 best sound ever acceleration at its finest
You could tell the Venom GT could go faster than 270 but it ran out of space
i didn't know cars' videos can be emotional too ...
I cri evrytim
Bugatti gets the high speed record and topgear U.K and the rest of Europe goes crazy, the U.S.A wins not a word said by topgear. I find that quite funny.
Manual shifting. True car for skills and control.
That picture at 3:20 made me proud asf!
OMG! It reached 220mph so fast with slow shifts even. Amazing!
The Venom shows the true power of the American V8. Muscle will always reign king.
So true
Just curious, why so many dislikes? Is it because its not a Bugatti? Made in America? Sound or design of car? Acheiving a world record?
So when the car was accelerating it hit about 1 g, so that means the force of acceleration was equivalent to earths gravitational pull so that means the force of acceleration was pretty much like, say, falling off a tower? Correct my Physics if im wrong
can't believe this was 6 years ago it seems like last year
The only reason the Venom GT went so fast was because it was fueled on freedom.
haha
Even though it looks almost exactly like an English-made Lotus Elise lol
Daemeon93 It does, but I don't think a Elise could take the Venom on a 1 on 1 race.
Gotta get home before the ice cream melts!
Most people would be surprised to know that this car is not only fast, but it is also surprisingly fuel-efficient. It comes in at 24 miles per gallon with a 14 gallon tank. Really.
Fastest car of its time, and it had a manual transmission. My respect for these guys is unexplainable. I'm impressed and happy
I'm not an American nor a fan of American sports car fan either, but i'm really happy that they did a hrest top speed on the Hennesey Venom Gt that shows that Americans can also have fast cars too.🇺🇸🇺🇸Go America!!!!!!!
is there a longer runway to go faster than 270?, because this car looks like it can go faster.
Who cares about the record certification anyway, This cars engine sound alone blasts all other high end supercars out of the water.
I can honestly say, this is the best looking and sounding supercar i've ever seen.
Made me tear up hardcore because of the speech. God bless all of those who put it all on the line for their country.
That's exactly how I felt. God bless the USA.
I second that!
PSSSHH
my honda civic with a short ram intake and type r sticker does 0-60 in 17 seconds!
LOL I like that comment!
My friend sold me stickers to for my Honda Civic. He told me they make my car faster due to the chemical properties in the stickers. He also hooked me up with ngk spark plugs. Only race cars use that stuff.
Well, that sticker does add 5 bhp. lol
N I C E :D
Psshh, my old Ford Pinto once did 0-55 in 15 minutes.
Its not the top speed that impresses me, it's the sheer acceleration (200-250 is insanely quick)
Nice,all done with a Pushrod V8 engine!!! Beautiful car ..Well done
American V8 power at its finest, USA 1
me going to school when I woke up late
0:21 Its the Stig!
Oh, but when I exceed 100 mph, I'm breaking the law and get pulled over
Yet people still talk crap about american made cars
Who else in 2020 still remembers when the Hennessy venom gt was the fastest car in the world... good old days
Anyone else wanna see The Stig rip this through the Top Gear test track?
Mr Hennessy make this happen!
YES!!!!! But...I don't think it can make it over a speedbump, so it would be disqualified from the board :/
every new episode i hope to see it in the hands of the stig. some say that when he drives american made car he cries inside, and that he truly wishes he was an american. all we know he's called the stag.
...but it has corners?
Probably not gonna be any better than agera or the others.
Dont know how focused Venom is on track if they got "Fastest Car" in their mind.
It'll be better than the veyron, it's more of a drivers car
They should go out again and see what happens. They ran a Bugatti on a 5 mile stretch. Seems like it would go past 270mph. I'm so intrigued...
Don't need to own the car... Just want to work on the team. Congrats guys! Small company doing big things.
Guys, NASA called: they want their mini rocket engine back 😕
manual for 270mph
amazing man
amazing
shift jolt feel will put shivers down
enthusiast spine
this almost made me cry man this is what it's all about man doing it because we CAN. pushing the limits. that car is so sexy and so tough it makes the viper look weak
Got violent chills down my back. This was amazing. But why didn't they go past 270 mph?
the swamp full of alligators at the end of the runway...
0:52 when she says she’s home alone
Best thing is that the Venom GT is powered by twin turbo 427 cu in (7.0 L) V8 GM LSX engine
For those who love KMPH
270MPH~~434KMPH
I'm still waiting for the Agera R to attempt a speed run
i come back to this video everyday and proves that american v-8s are the strongest most pure sounding and fastest engines ever
shifting into 5th at 200mph and then into 6th at 224 and finishing at 270 = speechless
This video makes me want to cry it's so beautiful!!!
Hennessey is beast. And, now the US is once again on top.
who else noticed the Stig keychain
I don't know why, but watching this gives me goose bumps.
because it made you feel!! do what makes you feel
I couldn't even begin to imagine going that fast in a car. So many props man. That's freakin awesome!
Bringing back the pride of automobiles back to America!
Whenever I feel down, and whenever I feel depressed, I come to watch a video of how a small tuning shop, asked to use a NASA runway for 2 runs, just to win back the speed crown from the Germans.
We may be failing as a nation, and the best of us are in the rear view mirror, but there will always be shining diamonds to inspire us in this nation.
Thanks for always being a beacon of hope ever since I was a child and found out about your company. Godspeed Hennessey, and Godspeed America.
That Stig key-hanger though :D
Old Schooled Glad im not the only one to notice that!!! :D
Next stop Top Gear! Stig will have a ball.
Hopefully you're talking about the real Top Gear (On BBC ONE and BBC International stations) and not the shitty American, German, Australian, etc. one(s).
umm yes i am. But the us top gear is getting better i might start slow but give it some time and it will be like the bbc top gear
There is only one real Top Gear and it is the original. TOP GEAR UK ALL THE WAY!
Im a car nut, and I have to say that both theVenom GT and the Veyron are magnificent engineering marvels, with lots of arguments for and against. And that is why I think this represents something much bigger.
It reminds of a time back in the 1920s and 30s when the Land Speed record meant something to the world, and you had tons of people trying to beat each other when the automobile was merely about 20-30 years old (It was dominated by Sir Malcolm Campbell, but that's kinda the point as well). What I like about this is that youre now talking about street legal cars, with anyone in the world in any country with the ability to outdo each other. And with everyone here arguing, debating, fighting over these cars, that what makes this special. Its starting to mean something again where people care about it. And THAT is why I think what is happening here is awesome.
This car sounds like a BEAST!
USA is back on top where we belong! Congrats Hennessey! Took us long enough. The last time the USA had the worlds fastest production car you have to go all the way back to 1992 to a virtually unknown marvel of American supercar history known as the Wiegert Vector W8, which was defeated by two British cars, the Jaguar XJ220 and the McLaren F1 (which is technically still the worlds fastest production car because of Guinness' requirements for 50 production vehicles to be produced in order to qualify for the title). And then the Saleen S7 Twin Turbo which was defeated by the Bugatti Veyron and then the underrated SSC Ultimate Aero TT, which was defeated by the Bugatti Veyron Supersports. Anyway, job well done people at Hennessey. I also noticed that you worked on the exterior as well to make the car look a little more original instead of completely like the Lotus Exige. The only thing left to do is call up Guinness and start hitting the production lines. (Also call Kazunori Yamauchi to get him to look at this beauty and see if he will render it into GT6. That way I can race it against my 300mph Cadillac Cien.)
Not only was it faster than the Veyron, it's better looking too.
kennedy speech always a good choice
same exact oil available at the local auto parts store...that's awesome as I use the same oil on my w221 amg
Its so cool to know that the venom is American. Its a freakin amazing car and it was designed in freakin TEXAS! WTF
Whats amazing about this is not that the car hits 270mph, its how fast it accellerates to 270!!! Incredible, great job guys!!
Bugatti, hell Europe in general put so much time; testing & money in making the fastest road car.. And this small company says what the hell let's see what happens. So much for Europe saying we don't know how to make proper cars. America showin how it's done. Congrats Hennessey
+Derek Corwell Dude, this thing is fast, but it can only move straight. Sportcar is not only about speed.
270.49 mph of FREEDOM !!
There's no need for a w 16 and 4 turbos when you got a lsx and twins.
10 years ago... so incredible even today.
I love to Koenigsegg Agera R but cmon the Hennessy is a work of art, Bugatti is just Fat Albert
Without a doubt his car is a BEAST in a straight line, but lap times determine how quick a car truly is.
I'd love to see how it performs when corners are thrown into the mix.
The engine, transmission, tires, chassis, aero/downforce, brakes, etc are all utilized to their maximum capability in a circuit.
That's the true test of overall performance.
Hennessey. American. 100% grade AAA badass!!! Thanks for going for it and being an inspiration. NASA and everyone can take a lesson.
America bless God again!
J.F.K's speech at the beginning is so inspirational!
i can't believe no one has noticed
Whoever decided the JFK speech at the beginning would be a great idea deserves a beer and a hug. So does the guy that thought of the Stig key chain. And so does everyone involved in making this what it is.
1.2 million dollars??? Can I get a little discount?
Venom...Veyron...Agera...etc. Loving one doesn't necessitate hating the others.
This Video gave me serious goosebumps. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
This shows the true American spirit! When we want to do something, we sure as hell do it!
Ive seen this video like 10 times in the past few years. I just like to make sure its still fast lol
MADE IN AMERICA!!! IM PROUD OF YOU GUYS!!! FOR COUNTRY!! THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!
Easily 280+ mph if the runway was longer
Bugatti is the fastest production car, while this is the fastest tuned car. Unless lotus teams up with Hennessy to mass produce these
Yeah but it's one car away from being considered a production car lol. At least by Guinness book's standards.
look it up, this is a production car.
ummm... no. the venom GT is being sold as a production car. Theyve only made 11, and only plan to make 29 total. but this is a production car.
you sure are an idiot these are now production cars they have been for awhile so it is the worlds fastest production car the worlds fastest tuned car is a ford gt that went about 280
smh @ all you guys who just got butthurt about if its a production car or not.
Saw this work of art in person at Houston coffee & cars. Absolutely beautiful.
Just..... wow! That was great. Not because they are easy but because they are hard. 270mph. That's not easy. Respect!
was that second gear at 103mph?
Holy smoke, an F-16 takes OFF at far slower speeds - awesome car
Judging by all the "Suck it Europe" comments, people obviously don't know too much about the car unless of course they don't count the United Kingdom as being in Europe.
Why are they prasing the driver like he just invented sliced bread? Congratulate the engineers behind it.
I want to see this race a Koenigsegg One:1
Congratulations guys, well done! What a great achievement, and most of all, what an amazing car!!
amazing how far cars have gone in the past 100 or so years
*This is One Experience I would love to have.*
270.49 MPH in the Hennessey Venom GT
#Racing #Cars
Love it. I'm glad America is finally making a big comeback after the foreigns thinking they're cars are better than everyone else's. God Bless America and we shall stand United.
YUP! The best in rights, freedom, pretty much anything! AMERICA!
very cool. love how it opened withe Kennedy's speech and took place at KSC. some people ask why this is necessary, why a car NEEDS to go 270+ mph, etc. it's because our American spirit makes us challenge ourselves and the limits put on us by boring, gray, vanilla people. it's our duty as humans to push our technological boundaries; it's the only way we've gotten here, chatting on the world wide web about technological advancement, watching hand-built automobiles achieve unfathomable speeds...all in a digital format. Bravo, HPE Design! Keep pushing.
Not really the American spirit, its more the human spirit.
yeah, i mentioned that when i wrote "humans". thanks for trying to poop on my sandwich though, and interpret what i was trying to convey. take care.
Bugatti:We build the fastest cars in the world.
Hennessey:Hold my beer.
It's official! America made the FASTEST car in the WORLD!
*God bless America!*
Looks better, performs better and sounds much nicer than the Veyron. And yet, it does not need 16 cylinders and 4 turbochargers to have this level of performance.
Some people just don't get what the Veyron is all about...
You are the example of murican teenage idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about. Looks and sound is a matter of opinion but very well - it looks like (pretty much is) Lotus exige 300RR - not American. More cylinders and more turbos doesn't give more power they make smoother and more balanced engine.
true. I prefer the Hennessey, but you gotta admit the Veyron is also a work of art.You can appreciate them both,you don't need to hate one to love the other!
Never liked the Veyron, I'd personally choose a Koenigsegg or a Mclaren P1 or even the old F1 over a Bugatti anyday.
1000 likes for your comment ....nuf said
I'd like to see a race between Koenigsegg Agera R vs Koenigsegg Agera S vs Venom GT vs Veyron SS vs Laferrari vs MC P1 vs KOENIGSEGG ONE:1
btw congratulation for your record Mr. Hennessey. Best Regards.
I love the music that you guys choose for this channel!
