    Default Hennessey Venom GT






    1,000bhp Bug’ killer breaks cover

    It's official - Britain and the US have joined forces to create a weapon of mass destruction: the Hennessey Venom GT supercar.

    The Lotus Exige-based Veyron-slayer has finally been unveiled and comes spoiling for a supercar-shaped fight.



    It packs a 6.9-litre V8 from a Corvette ZR1 which has been supercharged to produce enough power to melt your right foot - the ‘standard' Venom GT boasts 725bhp, but ask them nicely and you'll get the ‘window-licker' edition with 1,000bhp.

    The chassis comes courtesy of a Lotus Exige and the whole thing weighs less than a Ford Fiesta, meaning its power-to-weight ratio should help it penetrate the outer reaches of our universe. And maybe even some corners.

    The lightweight carbon fibre bodywork houses a programmable traction control unit, Brembo brakes and adjustable suspension to stop that monstrous power causing a mild dose of fiery death.

    The whole thing will be strapped together at Silverstone and buyers offered an intense day of tuition at the track.

    I've heard from a friend that a 600hp elise is hard to drive. But a 1000 hp exige? I'm sure it will be next to impossible.

    Im sure its no easy task...but at the same time I doubt they just dropped in a 1000hp engine and didnt do any suspension work.

    I thought they were going to use the Viper's engine and do some turbocharging on that. Oh well either way, very cool!

    This was early news on the car. Here's Jalopnik's story...I read it on Left Lane News but they updated their story and deleted the old one.
