After the GTP 700 had already reached 338,8 kph on the high-speed track in Nardo in southern Italy, the even more powerful variant GTP 720 (720 hp / 530 kW) has already accomplished two new records.

The result is even more impressive when reaching 200 kph, not to mention 300, when the GTP 720 undercuts the production version’s acceleration by more than a half.
