Default Hennessey Venom GT Sets 270.49mph Record on Forgeline GA1R Wheels

On February 14, 2014, the Hennessey Venom GT set a new production car world speed record by reaching a top speed of 270.49 mph (435.31 km/h). The test was performed at the Kennedy Space Center on the 3.2-mile Space Shuttle landing runway and driven by Brian Smith, Director of Miller Motorsports Park.

Built on a carbon fiber & composite/aluminum hybrid monocoque space frame and powered by a twin turbocharged 7.0L (427ci) V8, the Hennessey Venom GT makes 1244HP but weighs only 2743 lbs.

And what wheel does Hennessey trust on their million dollar Venom GT for a 270.49 mph top speed record run? They chose the Forgeline one piece forged monoblock GA1R, of course. Congratulations to Hennessey Performance for this astounding accomplishment! See more at: http://www.forgeline.com/customer_ga...w.php?cvk=1026
