Wow. I lust for this car, but not at that price. Lets see a race between this and the Veyron please, a 1/4mile drag, and then a lap of the Nurburgring.
I suspect this is probably all power and no finesse, as some serious driver aids are needed to hold the reigns on this car, that might be where the Veyron has the edge?
I\'m pretty sure I\'ll never know unless some overpaid auto-journalist drives it for my vicarious enjoyment.

Sorry. Now where near as sexy as the Veyron.

So many suffering for lack of resources, and so many resources squandered on this crap for rich dickheads.

looks a lot like a lotus

Obviously shares parts and design from Lotus.. but no mention of it in the article?? Weird... or lazy.
From Hennessy himself: 'started wondering, okay, what's next?' says Hennessey, who mulled over slightly lighter, even more powerful versions of both the Viper and Ford GT, but rejected them on grounds of being too race-car minimalist. 'I was joking one day about taking a Lotus Exige and putting our Venom 1000 engine in the back of the car. And we all laughed about it; laughed about it for a couple of weeks. 'But a preliminary sketch was followed up by a full set of renderings. When they came in, I looked at the car, and by that point I'd stopped laughing. I thought, we could build this car.
I'd be interested to see what Top Gear can do with it.

I do like the Manns 24 hour racer type cars - like this, the general shape and all...
Not terribly practical - but nice none the less.
But with much of this high tech racer stuff....
It reminds me of that Bo Derek movie 10.
Where the older guy has the hots for a neurotic younger chick and the obsession or desire is muddied by the practicalities of the situation - that she can only have sex after smoking dope and listening to Vivaldies Ballero (or something) and there is a whole heap of wanky silly bullshit to put up with - and while it\'s only a movie and the script and all is just a script - in the end it seemed the older broad with her act together was much better value than the young silly thing and all her fanciful ideas.
So like some premium smoo - it\'s a great piece of work - aside from being horrendously expensive, and the global average road speeds and driving conditions - and the true value of the running costs, repairs, and the amount of stuff you can actually do with it - say compared to a pickup or utility (Ute) - aside from a race track - it\'s an incredibly wasteful $$$ per mile car.
Sure it\'s a great car - but pound for $$$ for the amount of day to day real world in average traffic and speed limits....
I\'d rather drive this - to be sure... but you can\'t do much with it - and I tend to hate climbing in and out of shoe box type cars...

yes Nelson, it is sad, I agree

Say what you will Bugatti for life . its got taste and its alive!! no passion for match box type cars.

What is 1 second slower to 60mph, faster than a Ferrari Enzo V12 FXX around the Top Gear test track, can be built in your garage at home (or just ordered pre-built) and cost only US$90,000?
That would be the world record holding and award winning Ultima GTR 720. I personally would prefer the Ultima to the Hennessy Venom GT, as it is far cheaper and just as effective and it has more original styling than the Venom GT.

1200bhp, 275 mph, standard Exige chassis, lap & diagonal belts?
Sounds like a \'Darwin Award\' to me!
