While we’re with patience looking forward to the likes of Bugatti, Hennessey, and Koenigsegg to interrupt the 300-mph barrier, this 2006 Ford GT has simply been topped the speed king. The exact same Blue Oval supercar that reached 293.6 mph (472.5 kph) a pair of years past to line a brand new standing mile record was at it once more this past weekend.

During the Day of Judgement of the Texas Mile event organized at the Victoria Regional airfield, the Ford GT warm up with associate degree initial run throughout that it hit “only” 174.5 mph (280 kph).
