1 way and not recognized by Guinness.

Although it was still accelerating at 270, they just ran out of room.

I'm surprised this company is still around

Would anyone actually buy one of these if they had $1 million?

I sure as hell wouldn't.

If I had a million dollars? No.

If I had a million dollars I could burn and it wouldn't phase me? Absolutely. But I'd also buy a Hartge for a winter beater,a Ruf for a DD, and a Noble for a track toy. What I wouldn't buy would be a Ferrari, or a Lambo, or something predictable.

If anyone posted a higher resolution version it might show the various disassembled customer cars and incomplete projects.

:D

Modified Elise chassis, and I doubt it's ever been crash tested, or NHTSA certified, so in my opinion, it is in no way a "production car".

You know, there was never any serious proof of any of that...

Yea, unfortunately:

On February 14th, 2014, on the Kennedy Space Center’s 3.22-mile shuttle landing strip in Florida, the Hennessey team recorded a top speed of 270.49 mph (435.31 km/h) with Director of Miller Motorsport Park, Brian Smith, at the wheel.[5] As the run was in a single direction and only 11 cars have been produced to date, and is not a series production car, but registered as a modified Lotus Exige, it does not qualify as the worlds fastest production car in the Guiness Book of Records.[6]
