out of all the vids I've seen of it driving..yeah you wheel spin at the shift but it grabs the road pretty well
@Jon this wasnt built for top speed, he built it for power to weight and it happened to be good for top speed too
This is such a big improvement over the last one. One of my big criticisms for the last one was the styling, and they improved. Not as good as it could be, but certainly better
I want it. I love lotus. I love lots of hp. And i definitly love john hennessy
1500, my mistake. I understand that this car is built for top speed above all else, but it cant be driven anywhere.
No matter what, 1200 bhp to the rear wheels is just stupid. you'll be fishtailing all the way through 4th gear even with a fraction of the full power
Can we PLEASE just agree to never argue over whether or not the venom is based of the exige? It literally happens every time there's an article about it.
@raschard correct. The venom uses the exige chassis, and a twin turbocharged LS2 engine made by Chevrolet.
I never got a clear answer about the lotus-like design. Was this ACTUALLY designed based on a lotus chassis? Or did they just take the the general look of a lotus and tweak some things?
It was designed from a Lotus because Hennessy wanted to do the same thing Carroll Shelby did with the AC Cobra. Drop a massive American motor in a tiny British car.
Yeah people this thing is basically a tuned Lotus (but very very much modified)
I liked the first one but it was not great because of the lotus looks. This on the other hand, not too different, looks significantly better.
New headlights are good choice but more power I'm not so sure haha it's already beyond ridiculous
Headlights and new front end give this cars front end an interesting new look...a look I like a lot

if I'm not mistaken..doesn't the SSC Ultimate Aero TT make the 0-300 is less than 12 sec?
I can see the point Daniel is trying to make. 1500 bhp in a very light car makes for exciting reading and bragging down the pub, but it still needs to be backed-up with hard facts and figures. I for one can't wait.
So... When will it brake the world record 0-300-0, 0-300, 300-0 km/h, 0-200-0, 0-200, 200-0 mph ? Agera R has that record. Agera R makes 0-300km/h in 14,53sec, Veyron SS with 1200hp makes it in about 17sec !! The Venom?
@Kevin I think it's a little more complicated than that! Lol but yeah I know what you mean..
A manual sounds good but how scary would it be to change gear at 200mph
Daniel, don't try to make stuff. I wanna see this vs the Agera as much as the next guy but in NO way is this car "rubbish". It costs a million dollars for a reason.
@Daniel watch some videos of this car being driven it might change your mind
@Daniel. Yes the agera is more refined but this car is supposed to be a car for drivers wich means nearly no electronic help. Its just an engine ( a rather large one) a steering wheel and some tires.
Rubbish? You call this rubbish? Look up the facts before stating that. Both cars are awesome but in no way is this "rubbish".
Im afraid the Venom is rubbish. Everyone can make alot of hp BUT you have to put it into action. A test between this and the Agera R will sertinly proove that the Agera R is the better allround-supercar. Alot faster on a track as well.
@Bren ahahahaha! I know right?! I have fun in my subie! I can't even imagine driving a 1,500hp car!
I wonder if they're doing this as a response to the 1600hp veryon in the future. 1500hp I couldn't imagine how much fun that would be I have fun in my 300hp car
I like it but i dont love it but i can already tell it is going to grow on me...a lot
The curves on and around the headlights are clean, elegant, and simple. It just looks like it would slide through the air.
I guarantee this would post a solid time. I'd love to see a pro try to drive this around the ring
You don't think this thing will be good around "the ring"? I've never been to Germany but my money says this thing would go sub 7:20. Sure, it's not designed to go around bends but I bet it's fast by default.
By ring time are you talking about the Nurburgring? Because there's no way in HELL that it would be faster than
I think from the front it kind of resembles Hans rx7 from Tokyo drift and those headlights are sweet also does any one know if this has posted a ring time yet I would be willing to bet that this or the aggera r would be the fastest
I totally agree with you Grant. The new front grill gives it a really aggressive look and looks way better IMO. Also Preston is retarded. Bravo Hennessey!
not even close to a gtr! besides this thing would rape any gtr you throw at it..any Bugatti you throw at it..even the Agera R
This picture makes me think of a wide body GT-R. They don't look alike, but The grill setup is similar.
Agrees
Wake up--new venom, new agera--I love this app.
