The Dodge Viper has joined that exclusive club of cars that will top 250mph.
In fact, the Hennessey Venom Twin Turbo, as this particular tuned Viper is called, is claimed to whup a Veyron's ass with a top speed of 255mph.
Other vital statistics include a 1,000bhp 8.3-litre V10 engine with two turbos attached and 0-60mph in 2.9 seconds.
Developed by American tuner Hennessey, the Venom comes with aerodynamic aids to keep it pinned to the ground at full tilt. These include a new front air dam and rear diffuser.
There's also adjustable traction control and a heavy-duty rear differential to cope with the power.
Despite the monstrous spec of the engine and performance, the Venom has leather-trimmed seats and a DVD navigation system, although there's also a five-point harness for when you take it to the track.
All of this comes
with a two-year warranty and a day's private driving tuition on a racing
circuit.
And the price? That's $225,000, which works out at a bargain £114,500 to make the Venom the most cost-effective way to 250mph on the planet.

Okay, not this, the Bugatti Veyron (that thinks it's a plane), and the SSC Ultimate Aero TT in a challenge or race, now that would be incredible! Stig times with a dry track please and see who really is the fastest in the real world. ;)
