New Hennessey Lotus Exige Venom GT - Photos and Specification
The new Hennessey tuned Lotus Exige called the Venom GT has been debuted at the McCall Motorworks Revival. This was part of the buildup for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and features the Lotus supercar announcement with all of its 1,200 horsepower greatness. Hennessey plans to produce five of these cars per year at a price of $950,000 (€660,190 / £577,850). It may sound like a lot for a Lotus Exige, but with the sports car holding a 6.2-liter V8 powerplant producing 1,200 hp (895 kW / 1,217 PS) and 1,155 lb-ft (1,564 Nm) of torque, we are sure some car collectors will pick this beast up.
The Hennessey car tuning project for the Venom GT will result in a sprint time of 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds, while reaching a top speed of 275 mph (443 km/h). As John Hennessey said in press release, “It is a driver’s car, a supercar with a soul that will give you as much speed and performance as you dare ask of it”.
