A car manufacturer is claiming to have broken the land speed record for a sports car after a Hennessey Venom GT reached 270 miles per hour.

The speed was recorded earlier this month, using a runway made for Space Shuttle landings at the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.

But to be officially recognised by Guinness World Records the car must make two runs in opposite directions, which the Venom was not allowed to do on Nasa's runway.

The record is currently held by Bugatti's Veyron Super Sport.

ONCE.... :D

I'd say it could do it several times.... but it would only look like a corolla once :lol:

I'd say my 2014 Corolla went 120 mph....on the flatbed trailer when it was delivered from eastern Canada :lol:

Did you get one of the ice road truckers to deliver it for you ?

hope it was the smart bird :nod:
