" Is a reliable tool to hunting Exotics"

Most people know and some dont but for those who dont, I'll fill you in.. Its Domesticated and got balls... What is it? I'll give you some time to figure it out. Done yet? Well, I'll fill you in. Its the Hennesey Cobra GT.

'' The Hennessey Venom GT is no joke. ZR1 Engine. Up to 1,200 HP. Less than 2,400 Pounds. Better power-to-weight than a Bugatti Veyron. Lotus-derived chassis. $600K pricetag. It's so batshit crazy the sales price includes an "orientation session. The formula's roughly the same as when Carroll Shelby shoehorned American muscle into the heart of a British roadster, but this time the American muscle is an LS9 tuned to 725-1,200 HP and the British roadster is the tiny Elise. It's power-to-weight ratio is 0.302 in it's mildest trim, besting the 0.254 of a Bugatti Veyron. Putting that power to the ground will be a Ricardo six-speed gearbox with a little help from programmable traction control and an adjustable suspension. Bringing the beast to a stop will be Brembo brakes: 6-piston calipers up front/4-piston calipers out back with 15-inch carbon ceramic rotors.

In order to make sure the car works as a complete package, John Hennessey told Jalopnik his staff has been running hundreds of miles on the car every day to make sure the Venom GT is a reliable tool for hunting Italian exotics.



And with just ten sold per year at a price starting around $600K, it'll be as rare as it is fast." Thanks for the heads up pistonhead.
