I wonder how long it can go at those speeds before it starts falling apart, or maybe it would be limited by the tyres like the Bugatti...Holm86 wrote:I thought they had to run both ways and then the average speed would be the one that counts.
haha ... yep ... i wonder how it even qualifies as a production car ...Sebp wrote:Kudos 'Murica for pimping that Elise!
Faster probably yes. But is it really that difficult building a fast car?? I have much more respect for a car like the Bugatti where you cant even feel that you are doing 300km/h. And its even fast around a track. I think this Hennessey is pretty difficult to take around a track as it would just shred the tires out of every corner.Phil wrote:As impressive as it is, not doing it the proper way by doing two speed runs in either direction unfortunately makes it take quite a hit in regard to the Bugatti, as that speed differential isn't that big, and at least with the Veyron, we know the top speed is actually the average. Assumig it wasn't completely windstill, that must account for some difference.
Not doubting that the Venom GT is probably a quicker car... I still think, with these things, either do it right (proper two way) or not at all (keep quiet until you do).
Yes, I see some American marketing company is telling the world it is going to build the first super sonic airliner as well.Just_a_fan wrote:It's a re-engined Lotus Exige.
It's not a world record if it was only done one way.
American hyperbole at its best in the press release.
