The seductively mad Hennessey Venom GT was spotted by a tipster being loaded onto a carrier headed to an unknown location. What we do know is it isn't headed to Geneva as others have reported.

This photo from an anonymous tipster shows the Hennessey Venom GT, which started life as a Lotus Elise but has since transformed into a complete monster. The prototype version, seen here and in the Venom GT build pics, features a modified LS9 from the ZR1 putting out approximately 650-to-700 HP. The production version will feature a 1,000 HP twin-turbo engine... in a car planned for 2,400 pounds. It's a little mind-boggling.

Many believed this car was headed for the Geneva Motor Show in March but we're hearing it'll debut at a different venue, though details of the reveal haven't yet been released.

Almost.

1000 HP in an Elise +500 pounds. Still amazing, but part of the package of the Elise is the 1,900 pound weight, this car did put on a few during the transformation. So I wouldn't QUITE call it a 1K HP Elise.

Regardless, 1k hp+2400lbs is stil insanity. Shit that extra 500lbs might even help if anything

I hear that. I don't think I'd want to be piloting anything with over 500 horses if it weighed less than 2k pounds haha.

I would feel insanely unsafe if that car didn't put some pounds on. How could that possibly be controlled, even with the weight added. Shit is badass, but I'm not seeing too much relevance to the real world.
