# World Record Whips The Hennessey Venom GT Sets Fastest Acceleration Record By Kyle Towers | Published 2013-01-25 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fastest-acceleration-record References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/hennessey-venom-gt-acceleration-world-record/25925/) & [venomgt](http://www.venomgt.com/achievements/) The [Hennessey](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venom-f5-roadster) Venom GT has earned its way into the history books and the Guinness Book of World Records by setting an acceleration record. The included video shows first-person footage of the record being broken. It places the record at 0-300km/h in 13.63 seconds. This is especially impressive because most cars can't go 300 km/h ever, let alone in mere seconds. In case viewers are wondering why the video includes two runs, these are done to average out headwind and tailwind. Wind plays a large part in the timing as seen by how much faster the car was able to accelerate when the wind was at its back. The [1,244 horsepower car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aston-martin-valiant) is even sexier than it is fast. With wonderful curves and sleek design, it almost looks to pretty to be labouring on a track setting the [fastest acceleration record](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-ioniq-5). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Record-breaking Acceleration:** The Hennessey Venom GT's world record in acceleration presents opportunities for companies to develop faster and more powerful vehicles. - **Performance Enhancement:** The Hennessey Venom GT's achievement highlights the potential for industries to innovate in improving acceleration and speed for various vehicles. - **Wind-optimized Timing:** The impact of wind on acceleration performance exhibited by the Hennessey Venom GT suggests potential for companies to develop technologies that optimize speed under different wind conditions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can explore disruptive innovations in manufacturing and engineering to create more powerful and faster vehicles. - **Aerospace:** The aerospace industry can leverage the learnings from the Hennessey Venom GT's record-breaking acceleration to enhance the speed and performance of aircraft. - **Technology:** The technology industry can develop advanced sensors and predictive algorithms to optimize speed and acceleration in various applications, including transportation and sports. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Open-Top Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venom-f5-roadster.md) - [Ultra-Fast Manual Transmission Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venom-f5m.md) - [Exclusive Luxury Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-car.md) - [Monstrously Powerful Megacars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megacar.md) - [Ultra-Fast Hybrid Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fenomeno.md) - [Breakneck Speed Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucid-air-grand-touring-performance.md) - [Audaciously Powerful Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerful-hypercars.md) - [Industry-Leading Hybrid Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-w1.md) - [Four-Seat Hybrid Hypercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gemera.md)
