Hennessey Venom GT: New Fastest Car In The World? Video

{Update: a man claims to be faster than the Venom GT, click here after this page.}

You really can’t argue with a car that weighs less that 2700 pounds and has over 1200 horsepower to the wheels… what is there to say other than, “I hope you’re wearing your diaper because you just might shit yourself”. No really, this is what you call a true feat of automotive engineering. Hennessey took the Lotus Exige, known for its incredibly small and super efficient aerodynamic design (probably the best in the world) and stuffed a damn hoard of cheetahs under the mid-engine hood. I mean, you’re encroaching on Formula F1 territory with this baby, and it’s street legal!

This baby will do 0-60 mph in just under 2.5 seconds, a formula F1 car will do it in 2 seconds. And if you don’t know anything about Formula F1 race cars, they are the elite in the race world, there is nothing that goes around a track faster. The Venom GT will go from 0-200 mph in 15.9 seconds, whereas the current fastest road legal car in the world, the Bugatti Veyron, takes about 25 seconds to get to that speed. An F1 car will do it in about 10 seconds. The top speed of the Hennessey Venom GT is supposed to be just over 270 mph, which crushes the top speed of an F1 car and just might squeeze out the world record for the fastest car over the new Bugatti Veyron SS version. But don’t worry about getting rear ended by one any time soon… they cost about $900,000 and only 29 of them are to be made, damn! Here, have some candy…
