Hennessey Venom GT hits 265.7 mph, becomes faster than the Veyron Super Sport

 

Will the record stand?

 

John Hennessey has always wanted to steal the fastest production vehicle title from the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and it appears his Venom GT might have accomplished that task.
During a run on February 9th, Brian Smith managed to hit 265.7 mph (427.6 km/h) while driving on the runway at the Lemoore Naval Air Station in California. This is where things fall into a grey area as the Veyron Super Sport officially hit 431.072 km/h (268 mph), but the standard model is electronically-limited to 415 km/h (258 mph). As a result, Hennessey claims the Venom GT is the fastest production model customers can actually buy.
 
The reasoning is somewhat questionable but the video hints that another attempt is in the works as it says "We are going to need a longer runway or road to attempt to find out its top speed. Stay tuned..."
As we have previously reported, the Venom GT has a twin-turbo 7.0-liter V8 engine that develops 1244 bhp (928 kW) and 1155 lb-ft (1564 Nm) of torque. It enables the model to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds and hit an estimated top speed of 278 mph (447 km/h).

Rumored LaFerrari-based Maserati supercar rendered

 

Allegedly due in 2015

Anton Gjorsev has digitally imagined Maserati's rumored LaFerrari-based supercar due in 2015.
Looking similar to the recently introduced LaFerrari, this render might have something in common with Maserati's own version which is expected to arrive in 2015. A previous report has indicated the two-seater will lose the hybrid setup of the LaFerrari and feature either the same V12 6.3-liter engine or a quad-turbo 3.8-liter V8 taken from the Quattroporte. Regardless of the engine, power output will be less.
Taking into account it will forgo the hybrid hardware, Maserati's supercar will be lighter and will be available strictly as a coupe. It is believed the electrical, suspension and chassis will be borrowed from the LaFerrari, while some of the body panels will be specially made from carbon fiber.

Adam Ant’s motorcycles on sale

by Visordown News

Adam Ant and his collection

VEHICLES with celebrity connections are notoriously hard to value. Sometimes the fact that they’ve provided transport to the rich and famous can make them much more desirable than a similar machine with no well-known owner.
Now three bikes owned until recently by Adam Ant have hit the market. While not one of those celebrity names that’s regularly connected to motorcycles, the fact that the Stand And Deliver singer owned machines as diverse as a 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 (a limited edition Lewis Leathers version, number 11 of 50 made), a 1953 James Cadet and a 1951 BMW R25 show he has eclectic tastes in two-wheeled transport.
All three machines have been signed by Ant. Silverstone-based IDP Moto is checking them over and handling their sale, so any serious offers should go to them. The firm can be contacted on 01327-855751 or info@idpmoto.com.
