Jay Leno has invited the 1,200hp Hennessey Venom GT into his shop for an episode of Jay Leno’s Garage.
The model is powered by a twin turbocharged Chevrolet LS-series aluminum V8 producing 1,200hp and 1,135lb-ft torque mated to a six-speed Ricardo manual transaxle (the same as found in the Ford GT). Boasting a dry weight of just 2,548lbs and a curb weight of 2,68lbs with a full tank of fuel, the car delivers a superb power-to-weight ratio.
This latest development from Hennessey high performance cars, is by far the best production based vehicle redevelopment since the high performance studio RUF brought their porsche based CtR3 chassis to the market.The Venom Gt shall indeed set the bar for coming hypercar reproductions of privateers for years to come.
indeed^ nice comment
