Hennessey Venom GT 270.49 mph

Impressive! Car looks great too!

Would love a go at doing them sort of speeds!

 

[George182]

It's silly fast!

I want one

Crazy power! I love the look of it looks like an lotus on steroids!

It IS a lotus on steroids

looks like an lotus on steroids!

That's pretty much exactly what it is. lol

That's pretty much exactly what it is. lol

I bet it doesn't handle like one.. after all the Yanks built it! Still Love it though and so much better looking than then Veyron.

 

[krappy]

That's because it is

 

[JackD]

Don't they have to do two runs then average it?

 

[George182]

For the Guinness world record they do.

 

[Eddie.]

They also need to build 30 for it to be a production car, which Hennessey aren't, they're building 29.

Yeah i thought they had to do it one way, then the other.

The Germans will not be pleased!

Awesome piece of kit. Keep lolling at some of the comments on videos stating "american power"

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I hate to say it, but i'd have one over a P1.

 

[Matt_90]

I stand corrected.. what a car! I never knew it based on the lotus.

Shouldn't judge a book by its cover!

 

[Advikaz]

I hate to say it, but i'd have one over a P1.

Can see why you'd say that.

I imagine the P1 would be a much better all round car though. Not taking anything away from the Hennessey, but they've strapped a flux capacitor to a lotus pretty much.

I could strap a rocket to my clio, but it still wouldn't be a mclaren.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Aye i know what you mean, the Venom looks to be a blunt instrument where as the P1 is a fine piece of precision engineering..!

I don't doubt the P1 would be 'better', i just really want the Venom!

 

[DaveDreads]

No second run, no one from Guinness, means not a world record.

It is impressive though.

Some times the blunt instrument is the best though

As I say, they can do a million runs, they can't have the fastest production car world record, as they aren't making enough of them to qualify.

 

[Ian_182]

I'd still have a veyron or a P1 tbh.As said this is a fancy kit car it has no refinement and was a lotus first then added to.Both maclaren and veyron were purpose built and the engineering that went into those cars can be seen where as this looks like it has been hashed together just to go fast.
Still very quick though ill give them that.

Amazing car, I'd probably have one over a P1. It's 3 seconds quicker to 186 than a P1 lol.

I'd never drive either on the edge so handling isn't necessarily an issue, I can imagine the rawness of the GT would make for a more thrilling drive.
