New car news

Hennessey Venom GT

13 August 2009 - 13:00

Faster than a Veyron?

American tuning firm Hennessey is best known for doing silly things to Cadillacs, Corvettes and Dodges. But now it is readying a supercar of its own, which it plans to bring to the Geneva Motor Show in production form next March.

Sticking to the old mantra that any start-up supercar manufacturer with no track record must make a whole bunch of borderline implausible claims about your car's likely performance, Hennessey has made a whole bunch of borderline implausible claims about its car's likely performance.

Ready for this? The mid-engined two-seater has been tagged the Venom GT, and will be powered by an as-yet-unspecified V8 putting out ‘up to 1,200bhp'. In a car with a kerbweight less than 1,090kg, Hennessey says that will be good for a 0-60mph time of 2.4 seconds - yep, quicker than a Veyron - and a top speed of 272mph.

Obviously we wouldn't want to encourage an atmosphere of unhealthy scepticism around TopGear.com, but - well, they're some pretty big numbers, ain't they? Anyone willing to put a tenner on the Hennessey Venom GT living up to its rather large promises?

Oh, and anyone spotting more than a passing similarity to the Lotus Exige GT3 racer?

Yeah ok it looks like a Lotus but since when was that a bad thing? It looks far better than a Radical or that Devon thing. I don't like the Veyron very much but it just seems like it should keep its title of "King of the supercars" and even though i prefer this one, I don't want it to be better than the Veyron. That sounds strange but never mind

This is a lightweight car that probably wont even have a CD player look at the interior of the Veyron then compare it to this cars and you'll see why the Veyron is a Magnificent Car

Bugatti Veyron is my favourite car of all time so dont want this to beat it. But even if they make it it will probably wont be a production car like mosler and Ultimate Aero so technically wont count as fastest production car ever. Besides the Ariel Atom 500 should be out soon which could very well blitz this.

The more people who review the Aero SSC the more it looks more stable than anything in that speed class. It is rated stable to 270mph. More stable than hte Veyron and 9ff included. Not much people know the SSC was developed with help from the NASA wind tunnel. Veyron went to some cute testing facility? Bah SSC went to the people who went to the moon.

Only way it will do a 2.4sec 0-60 is if it is all wheel drive. Or have some massively huge rear tires. If it doesn't, then there's no way it'll get all that power down. The tendancy for a light little car like that with that much power will be to just spin it's tires...

The Veyron has an W12 engine with 2x as much displacement and size as the Aero SSC, which is "only" a forced induction V8. So basically the Bugatti has more bhp and more displacement but only to go slower than the SSC. And the Veyron has a flappy paddle while the SSC has a manual six speed using a custom triple plate clutch, which means you feel the car's power better. And it's twice as cheap putting it in the class where supercars that barely touch 209mph. But status - sold out.

IronicalBalls, what you and other just don't get is the fact that the engine in the Veyron, the W16 Quad Turbo, might "only" produce 1001bhp but remember it only revs to 6000. I you wanted to, you could make it output 2000bph. Perhaps more. But the fact of the matter is, that when the Veyron has done 100.000 miles, with countless accelerations, 1250nm pulling in the chassis and 4wd system etc, i will still do 0-62mph in 2.5 or less and still do 253 mph top speed and still be as comfortable as any Golf GTI og whatever you wanna compare it with. It is and will always be the ultimate car for it is not comparable with crazy Brabus', Venoms, Vipers og SSC's for that matter. It is a true and genuine car that just happens to be the fastest production in the world. I know you will ramble on about the SSC being this but get this: It's not really a production car.

But the Veyron is just in a different league in terms of speed, acceleration, stability and that luxury interior. Wow!

*sniff Sniff* Can anybody else smell lawyer drool? I really hope Lotus call them on this one because I honestly can't see them getting away with this in court. As for the continual babble about the SSC: The SSC is only a highly tuned car barely within the legal limits, its not designed to last for long or hit its top speed more than once or twice between having its engine serviced. That's exactly the same as those 1000hp Skylines, and they have far better interiors. The Veyron is a hypercar, both in terms of speed and in terms of luxury, its got a leather interior and a big sound system for crying out loud. And as for the claim of the SSC being tested in NASA's wind tunnel, lets just remind ourselves what would be tested in that tunnel: Lifting body aircraft (ones without engines) and rockets designed to go up, because when spacecraft are travelling at multiple KM per second - there's no air around them. So NASA's wind tunnel will be no more impressive than anybody else's.

Sorry but no matter how much it looks like a Lotus and no matter how much lightness has been added (which is unlikely) it simply does not work aerodynamically. I predict that at around 180 mph the turbulence induced vibration would make it impossible to control.

We need to remember there is precident for taking a british body and stuffing american horsepower into the chassis. Can anyone say "Cobra"? However a lot of body mods and chassis mods went into the 427 model, with AC's blessing. I expect they can engineer the 1000 hp into the chassis. In terms of styling clones, hasn't anybody noticed that a lot of current 4 door sedans look alike? Check out the following: Accord, Altima, BMW 3 series, the new Taurus. You will find styling queues copied all over the place.

I've done my research on Hennessey and they may have something here. Hennessey is a car tuning company that make cars w/ already plenty of horsepower and squeeze more power out of the cars. they have jeeps w/ 1000bhp and Saleen S7s w/ 2000 bhp and Ford GTs w/ 1200 bhp. Now I know for a fact that Hennessey works on GM, Ford, and crystler cars. So it could have a 5.5, 6.1, or a 7.7L v8 with who knows how many turbos or superchargers it may have. and if Koeinzegg can squeeze 800bhp out of a 4.3L v8, then hennessey may be telling the truth

It is just an Exige GT3, with a tacky Hennessey sticker on the windscreen, and a bigger engine

it is based on the exige. they widened the car and made it longer to take the viper v10. and of course they can get those hp figures. i've seen evos online with 970 hp from their little 2.0 so a viper's 8.4 will be able to do 1200 easily. are people retarded on this forum?

I see Lotus, Porsche GT, Mclaren F1. I would not be that shocked if they made a faster car then the Veyron at all. The Ultimate Aero did it. I'm gonna get a lot of crap about this, but the Veyron is a power house with a name, and when someone else does better then its going to have to be compared to the Veyron before anything else. Oh and this looks better then the Veyron in my personal opinion.
