It's About to Get Ugly


Meet the Hennessey Venom GT, a 1,000 horsepower supercharged supercar that weighs about as much as a Mini Cooper. With that kind of power-to-weight ratio, this thing could make a Bugatti Veyron look like Doc Brown's DeLorean.
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
