Move over, Bugatti. The world’s fastest convertible is now from Texas.

Clocked doing an astounding 265.6 mph, the American-made Hennessey Venom GT Spyder is now officially the world’s fastest convertible.

It smashed the previous world’s-fastest convertible record set by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Vitesse by more than 11 mph.

The Texas-based carmaker Hennessey also set another record with its Venom GT hardtop in 2014 when it reached 270.4 mph at the Kennedy Space Center.

In case you didn’t see the Hennessey Venom Gt beating the world record, see below

“On February 14, 2014, the Hennessey Venom GT set a new world speed record for 2-seat sports cars by reaching a top speed of 270.49 mph (435.31 km/h). The test was performed at the John F. Kennedy Space Center on the 3.2-mile Space Shuttle landing runway. Brian Smith, Director of Miller Motorsports Park, drove the Venom GT to its record speed.”
