Kian’s top video of the week: World’s Fastest – 270.49 mph Hennessey Venom GT
In February 2014 the Hennessy Venom GT took to the Kennedy Space Center’s 3.22-mile (5.18 km) shuttle landing strip in Florida. The Hennessey team recorded a top speed of 270.49 mph (435.31 km/h). Unfortunately for Hennessy, they only completed the run in a single direction and had only sold (to qualify Hennessey must build 30). This meant that even though flat out it trumped the Bugatti Veyron’s 254.04 mph it did not qualify...
Ariel Atom V8 reviewed, 900BHP per ton… EPIC
Ariel’s latest offering of its stripped down and caged racer has proven to be its most ferocious yet. With its V8 custom build motor producing a magical 475BHP and ensuring 60MPH is dispatched in under 3 seconds. 475BHP doesn’t sound that much in the days of the 1000BHP Bugatti Veyron but with 900BHP per ton, that easily trumps the measly 530BHP per ton produced by Bugatti. It’s set to be a darn sight cheaper too!...
