Hennessey Venom GT...just take a look

Ummm, I'm not sure how/why this exists but apparently it does.

Lotus Exige chassis/start + ZR1 motor + Hennessey = 725hp, 741ft-lbs of torque@3200rpm, and a curb weight of 2400lbs. Also 15" carbon brakes, 6speed Ricardo gearbox and a whole host of other shenanigans.

Oh and an optional package that can bump power to 1000bhp or 1200bhp.











I really have nothing to describe this car further...it's just a collection of impossible numbers.

I was just thinking on how a thief can still be around and producing some nice cars.

Wow, I loved the cars Hennessey made. After reading this I look at them differently. So messed up.

I mean the car is still absolutely ridiculous...no doubt about it. Just the company is garbage. Similar to the old 360 Forged wheels...amazing product, **** company.
