Say Hello (And Goodbye) To The Last Ever Hennessey Venom GT
After six years in (very) limited production, the Hennessey Venom GT is no more. The 12th car - one of six roadster versions - has been built and sold for $1.2 million to an unnamed buyer.
While its critics are keen to point out its (massively modified) Lotus base, the Venom lives up to its promise of being massively, maddeningly fast. The last cars - including this special ‘glacier blue’ Final Edition - put out 1451bhp via a twin-turbo V8, making 0-60mph possible in 2.4 seconds.
While the car’s 270.4mph top speed recorded at the Kennedy Space Center in 2014 was never a ‘proper’ Guinness world record, it remains a massively impressive feat. The GT did bag an ‘official’ record too, becoming the fastest car to go from 0-300kmh, which it did in just 13.61 seconds.
So long Venom GT, it’s been fun watching you do cool stuff.

Goodbye, Texan Lotus
Sorry but i remember as Koenigsegg broke Venom’s record with the Agera R (and One:1 later on) am i wrong?
I live near Hennessy and have taken my lotus to many shows alongside the venom GT. Interior is identical to mine haha. It’s literally a Lotus Exile stretched out with a tt ls motor and ford gt trans. Watch jay Leno’s review on it. Met John many times, seems so stressed all the time haha.
She had a good run, but I’d rather 50 cheap non runners that I could smash together into the ultimate race car, two Volvo Turbo I5’s making a twin turbo V10 in a 79’ Holden Kingswood Body, Yiew.
All ya parts are right here on our classifieds aswell, though I’m the owner so I’ll snag em before ya, rip.
maybe an I-10 depends on yer angles hey
You’re acting like they are all gone. They will still exist after production ends
Finally, the most pointless “supercar” to ever be made.
Damn, that color looks good on the Hennessey!
That isn’t the record. The koenigsegg did 0-300kmh in 11.92 sec. Thats 1.69 seconds faster. Plus it dropped back down to 0 in just 6.03 sec. I would say that way faster than the Venom GT
Bugatti Veyron:
Sigh of relief
Imagine if they make onw that looks like an evora
