However, not all of their videos are related with performance vehicles. Nevertheless, Jason has definitely taken a very keen interest when it comes to the performance world.

That said, Hennessey is a company that can do pretty much everything and never fails to surprise.
All of those 1600 mad horses come from a V8 twin turbo. This makes the car the first production vehicle to ever smash the 300 mph barrier. Its predecessor, the Venom GT, managed to clock an impressive 270 mph run. However, the car is hand-built so many people are not actually considering it a production car.
