Bugatti Veyron No Longer the Fastest Car in the World!

A new American supercar named the Hennessey Venom GT has taken the title of being the world's fastest car away from the renowned Bugatti Veyron just this week. This speed demon hit a whopping 270 mph on the American shuttle rocket strip, surpassing the 268 mph Bugatti record. It uses the British Lotus Exige exterior design, but the heart of the machine is a monstrous 7.0 litre Corvette ZR-1 engine that unleashes the power of 1,244 horses on tarmac.
