Hennessey Venom GT 1000 HP
As the time flows, the well known American brand reveals more and more about the supercar animated by Dodge Viper propulsion and the news aren’t good at all for the competitions from Europe, including Bugatti Veryon. This car will have it’s entire potential around a V10 of 8,5 l twin-turbo with 1000 hp (engine used under the hood of Viper Venom) but Hennessey announced recently that it will be available a special kit, what will reveal from the same car 1200 hp and 1490 Nm.
Like everything wouldn’t be just perfect, Hennessey informs that the car will have not more than 1255 kg, that means that the ratio between weight/power will be closer of 1 kg/hp. Explained in another words, the “supersonic†accelerations will be a piece of cake, the Americans saying that Venom GT will reach 100 km/h in just 2,5 seconds and around 300 km/h in approximate 14 seconds. More vertiginous is the maximum speed of Huston’s rocket, evaluated to 421 km/h – with almost 14 km/h more than Bugatti Veryon and with 11 km/h more than the actual holder of world record, SSC Ultimate Aero TT.
Venom GT will have a classical structural solution in the world of supercars – central engine and rear traction – the engine will give it’s entire power to a manual gear with 6 positions. The Hennessey bolide will have to stop from time to time in some cases for urgency. For this will be installed a disc braking system made of carbon fiber (356 mm diameter), pulled by etrier with 6 pistons. Hennessy put in mind to make from Venom GT a global supercar, this way will offer a wheel on the right side, and then like the first customers don’t find the end in the first tree they hit, the Americans will offer a book with directives for the car, like the ones which will drive exploit at maximum the 1000 hp. Expect like this beast appear first as a concept, event which will consume somewhere in 2009.
