The Hennessey Venom GT's run at Kennedy Space Center in Florida just pipped the previous two-seat sports car record of 269.86mph, set by Bugatti's Veyron Super Sport in 2010.
Powered by a 7.0-litre twin-turbo GM-sourced V8 engine, the car powered from 20mph to 120mph in 7.71 seconds and was still accelerating at 1mph per second between 260mph and 270mph.
Former racing driver and Michelin tyre test engineer Brian Smith was at the wheel of the vehicle, which uses a highly-modified Lotus Exige chassis, on the 3.2-mile stretch of runway.
He said he believed the car could have reached even faster speeds if the runway had been longer.
