In 2014, a Hennessey Venom GT was recorded as exceeding 270.49 mph (435.31 km/h), but as the run was in one direction only, and only 16 cars out of a planned total of 29 have been sold, it does not qualify under the Guinness Book of Records or this list's criteria as the worlds fastest production car.The Venom GT was driven by Brian Smith, director of Miller Motorsports Park and the test was conducted on the 3.22 mile shuttle landing runway in Florida.The Venom GT is available for purchase at a starting price of $1.4 million.
