The Venom GT is a major success story that keeps building momentum with every aerodynamic tweak and trip to the Kennedy Space Center!
This video below is pretty awesome. Great intro via a great JFK speech, HPE! Pretty outstanding results, too =]
The latest WFE reached the long-held ideal of one kilogram of weight per horsepower, with both totaling 1244 thanks to the latest tweaks to the Hennessey twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The Hennessey team notes that not only is the Venom GT now the world’s fastest car, it is also the quickest.
A 2.7-second sprint to 60-mph only increases in ferocity as the rear tires no longer struggle for grip. Result? a world-record 13.63-seconds to 186-mph. That is fast enough to smooth the wrinkles from the rockstar poster-boy of the Venom GT Spyder: Steven Tyler. A custom stereo is also available for all new Venom GT’s based on the spec designed by Mr. Tyler himself.
Overall, the white color and stripe design is stunning for the WFE edition — of which orders are currently being taken for a limited time.
The only choice now for your World’s Fastest Edition Venom GT: hardtop or Spyder?!
