BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) — A Washington state car company says it’s set a world record after its newest vehicle reached an average speed of 316 mph along a highway in Nevada.

Guinness World Records said Richland-based SSC North America’s Tuatara model is the fastest production car on earth. The milestone, set Oct. 10, surpasses the 278 mph reached by a Swedish car company in 2017.

The Tuatara, which has a base price of $1.9 million, produces 1,750 horsepower from a turbocharged V-8 engine. The company, which was founded in 1998 in Richland, Washington, says the car’s aerodynamic design was inspired by fighter jets and took more than a decade of research and development.
