Insanely Fast Now Has a Face: The 2011 Hennessey Venom GT

Watch out Bugatti Veyron, there’s another supercar brewing!
John Hennessey has spent a lot of time over the years enhancing already fast vehicles; Dodge Vipers, Ford GTs, and Chevrolet Corvettes, but it is now time for Hennessey Performance Engineering to unleash its very own supercar, the 2011 Venom GT.

The Venom GT looks to combine the look of the Lotus Exige, the proportions of the Porsche Carerra GT, and the engine of the Corvette ZR1; adding the Hennessey name. The Exige body is lowered, widened by 12-inches, and 18-inches longer. Under the hood, the Venom GT has a supercharged LS9 V8 engine, like the Corvette ZR1, which can potentially give the lightweight, 2,400 pound Venom up to 1200 horsepower.

The Hennessey Venom GT can do its 0–60-miles per hour sprint in 2.4 seconds; reach 200 miles per hour in 14.3 seconds, and hit a top speed of 272 miles per hour. With all that acceleration, what about the brakes? Don’t worry, the Venom’s spoiler alone acts as a brake, helping the Venom cancel 200 miles per hour in seven seconds.
All for about $600,000. Interested? Me too!

holy shit!
