HENNESSEY VENOM GT Concept Car
1000 BHP + 2700 lb Mid-Engine Chassis = New
Benchmark of Sports Car Performance
Hennessey Performance Engineering today announced
that it is introducing the company's first concept
car - The Venom GT.
Penned by British auto designer, Steve Everitt, the
Venom GT would incorporate Hennessey's potent Venom
1000 Twin Turbo Viper V10 powerplant into a light
weight mid-engine chassis weighing 'under 2,700
lbs'. Power would be run through a 6-speed
transmission or optional sequential gearbox.
With a power to weight ratio of just 2.7 lbs per bhp
Hennessey estimates that the Venom GT could attain 0
to 100 km/h times in less than 2.5 sec. and a 0-300
km/h time of around 14 seconds. Company founder,
John Hennessey, is careful to point out that the
Venom GT is not being built as a 'Veyron Slayer'.
Hennessey point out, saying, 'The Veyron is an ultra
fast and ultra luxurious grand touring car which
also happens to be quicker and faster than any other
road car, except for our Venom 1000 Twin Turbo SRT
which beat the Veyron earlier this year from 0-200
mph. The Venom GT will be a much more engaging
sports car to drive by challenging the driver with
1000+ HP in a chassis that is nearly 1500 lbs
lighter than the Veyron.'
Hennessey said, 'The company already has existing
Venom 1000 Twin Turbo clients interested in ordering
the lighter, mid-engined Venom GT. 'Right now are
taking a serious look at building 2 concept cars
that could be shown to the public sometime in 2009.
If there is enough demand we may consider doing a
very limited production run of the Venom GT.'
If the Venom GT goes into production, it would be
built at the company's facility at Lonestar
Motorsports Park which is located just west of
Houston, Texas.
