Hennessey Venom GT

So, it's an Exige... with a modified, 750hp LS9 straight out of the Hennessey ZR1... And people don't seem excited by it. I fail to understand this world.

Honestly, what's not to like here? It's not a totally original car, but for a company like Hennessey -famous for upping the lethality of Vipers everywhere- a car like this is a big step. It's a much more involved process, on par with the likes of the RUF CTR3, and the 9FF GT9R. And whether or not it has the pedigree of something like an Enzo it's a sub-2,700lb. car with 750bhp! Which means that it should run ring around the Ferrari. In this day and age of 3,500lb Porsches and 4,500lb Lamborghinis this may be the last chance to buy true light weight combined with high horsepower. It's also the perfect car for anyone -well, anyone with a lot of money- who wishes they'd made more than one Lotus GT1.

In any event, here are some shots of the car being tested in Britain. It's probably not exciting enough to change anyone's opinion about the car, but it's neat none the less.
