Venom GT Hennessey Supercar

Venom GT Hennessey Supercar

The company plans to establish a network of Venom GT dealers and distributors in the Middle East, Europe, Russia, Australia and Asia. That means there are only six units left from the first allocation. Hennessey plans on building 10 units of the Venom GT annually and four have already been sold at around $600,000 a pop. The Hennessey Venom GT weights less than 2,400 lbs (1,071 Kg) and to stop the Venom GT, Hennessey added Brembo brakes with 6-piston calipers up front and 4-piston calipers in rear clamping down on 15-inch carbon ceramic rotors.

and a 0-300 km/h time of around 14 seconds. With a power to weight ratio of just 2.7 lbs per bhp Hennessey estimates that the Venom GT could attain 0 to 100 km/h times in less than 2.5 sec. Power would be run through a 6-speed transmission or optional sequential gearbox. Penned by British auto designer, Steve Everitt, the Venom GT would incorporate Hennessey's potent Venom 1000 Twin Turbo Viper V10 powerplant into a light weight mid-engine chassis weighing "under 2,700 lbs".

Hennessey Performance Engineering today announced that it is introducing the company's first concept car - The Venom GT.
