It’s been long time coming but finally, we have a semblance of proof from Hennessey that the Venom GT is alive and well.
It shouldn’t have even come to this point because the car was expected to make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. But reportedly, there wasn’t enough room for the Venom GT to strut its wares, so Hennessey eventually decided to hold off the car’s debut until March 30.
As the first production car from a renowned tuning house, the Venom GT is a twin-turbo LS9 V8 engine Lotus-based machine that is poised to drop the jaws of anyone who gets too close to it. The car is available in three set-ups, specifically 540 kW, 745 kW and 895 kW – with all of its power converted to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. The car is expected to reach a top speed of 420 km/h – yes, you read that right, with a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of, wait for it…2.2 seconds!
It’s going to take a few more weeks before we see the Hennessey Venom GT in the flesh. But for now, consider this teaser photo of the car, shrouded in minimal lighting, as the first appetizer before the full entree is served on the 30th of March.
