Video Jay’s Garage Hennessey Venom GT

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.
