Engine and Performance
Performance is where this machine absolutely excels. Thanks to Venom’s 7.0L V8 twin turbocharged engine, it can output some mind boggling numbers. This V8 engine is competent of producing 1,451HP making it the third most powerful production car right after Buggati Chiron and Koenigsegg Reagera. With such power under the hood Venom GT can do 0-100km/h in less than 2.7s. While 0-300 comes at an amazingly low 13.63s. And since we are talking numbers here the top speed is a verified 270.8mph.
Safety and Technology
In terms of safety and technology, you are looking for pure dissatisfaction. This car comes with absolutely no drivers aids and technologies present in modern hyper cars. Part of the reason why this car manages to weigh less than the competition. With no ABS, traction control or even airbags. It’s a pure driver’s car and not everyone can unlock its true potential.
Price

An average asking price of Hennessey Venom GT is $1.2 million. Although it’s cheaper than its rivals still it’s an outrageous amount of money.
