Hennessey Venom GT World’s Fastest Edition revealed, celebrates 270 mph speed record

Has a twin-turbo 7.0-liter V8 with 1244 bhp

Hennessey has announced plans to celebrate the Venom GT's 270.4 mph (435.1 km/h) run at the Kennedy Space Center with a "World’s Fastest Edition."

Production will be limited to three units and all will feature red, white and blue body stripes. There doesn't appear to be any other changes but all three cars have already been sold for $1.25 million (€906,190 / £757,300).

In a statement, John Hennessey said “The Venom GT is America’s supercar and it broke 270 mph on the same runway where the Space Shuttle landed at the Kennedy Space Center. We wanted to offer a special paint scheme that would incorporate the colors of the American flag—the same flag we flew on the Space Shuttle runway."
