Okay - so stick 1200bhp into a Lotus Exige

[+MigBuster]

and you get this 270mph monster renamed as a Hennessey Venom GT

For it to count as a world record, don't you have to make two runs in opposite directions and take the average of those?

I believe that is the case.

 

Plus, with these ultra rare cars, calling it a 'production' vehicle stretches the term a bit.

They still call it "NASCAR", don't they? Ain't nothin' stock about those babies.

For the record to have been counted, a second run would have had to been made and more cars would have had to be produced. A minimum of 30 have to be built, I believe 11 Venoms have been delivered.
