Hennessey Venom GT Spyder – Shot for the Star

The American company Hennessey Performance , based in Texas, very faithfully adheres to the philosophy established by the company there. No belt buckle is big enough, no pair of leather shoes shines enough…

It's the same with the creations that come out of the company's headquarters, located west of Houston. Therefore, we will now talk about the unique Hennessey Venom GT Spyder , which was subjected to cylinder brake tests in the new official video . It is no secret that the rock phenomenon Steven Tyler is the proud owner of the depicted piece.

To be honest, they didn't put much work into the official video at Hennessey . However, the facts about the vehicle alone are breathtaking! Under the rear hood, the particular piece has the most powerful variant of the blown fork eight cylinder, which is connected to a six-speed manual transmission. With the help of Garrett turbocharging, the engine extracts 1,200 horsepower (895 kW) from the volume of 6.2 liters, which, given the car's weight of 1,220 kilograms, is a killer ratio! A torque of 1564 Nm turns healthy people into laughing puppets.

If you think that a mere rear wheel is little competition for the epic Bugatti Veyron , you are sorely mistaken. In a straight line, the Hennessey Venom GT Spyder accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, in acceleration to 200 miles per hour (15.3 seconds), it beats the chubby Veyron by 9 seconds! In terms of overall driving characteristics, however, it has the Bugatti significantly on top thanks to the four-wheel drive.
