Not in terms of top speed — a record that’s currently in dispute after the SSC Tuatara set a controversial 316 mph mark on a Nevada highway in October — but around a benchmark track.

The 720 hp coupe driven by pro racer Maro Engle beat the previous record set by the $517,770 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ LP770-4 in 2018 by a scant 1.35 seconds, which almost makes the $389,000 GT Black Series look like a bargain.
