Hennessey Venom GT
In your screen is the first production GT Hennessey Venom (we had only seen pre-series models), a supercar produced by Hennessey Performance Engineering promises to break all speed record for a production vehicle, leaving large as the Bugatti Veyron or The 9ff GT9-R in the gutter. He has yet to prove it, incidentally. The fact is that Texas coach has already published a complete gallery of official data, and most importantly, a myriad of technical data that will satisfy our appetite for numerical information.
First, some reminders, the car is assembled and manufactured at Silverstone (England). It is designed in the U.S., but the American continent only imports the 6.2 V8 motor home LS9 General Motors. The base car is none other than the little Lotus Elise chassis with an extended battle, lost in a set of body and frame made of aluminum and carbon fiber for maximum light as possible. The body has been enlarged and extensively studied by CFD aerodynamics for the car off to reach 418 km / h.
Without further delay, all the technical information, along with images taken at an aerodrome British spectacular color and lighting. It is worthwhile emphasizing that the data correspond to the version of intermediate power (1,000 hp) with data taken in dyno.

This version is the one on your screen is the first unit produced, whose fate is - how could it be otherwise - Middle East, specifically Dubai. Hopefully the owner has his head to enjoy it and not see it a few years gathering dust in every corner of the city.
