Ford GT sets Guinness World Record of 283 mph for top speed

Performance Power Racing modified a BADD Ford GT to reach 283 mph in one mile.

A Ford GT custom has reached 283.232 mph (455.82 km/h), in a standing mile at Florida’s Kennedy Space Center, NASA’s Shuttle Landing Facility runway.

Performance Power Racing created this street-legal Ford GT with two turbos and components made of “pandalloy”. This aerospace aluminum alloy was developed in partnership with Pratt & Whitney. It is ideal for racing applications due to its low weight, high strength, and resistance to temperature.
