“This is the incredible moment a racing driver broke a world record by hitting 257mph – in a modified Ford. Sean Kennedy, 29, smashed the existing record for acceleration over a mile-long stretch while driving a highly-tuned Ford GT in Texas. The daring motor sports enthusiast rocketed to an incredible 257mph in the humble car, which has been souped up with a 5.4-litre V8 engine and two massive turbo-chargers. Mr Kennedy went from a stationary position to an astonishing 200mph by the halfway mark, before setting the new ‘standing mile world’ by the end of the track.” w/ photos
