Hennesey Venom GT, looks good
The final prototype of the Hennessey supercar have been spied, I didn't figure before how that "stretched" Elise look so good !
These pictures show what looks to be the finished Hennessey Venom GT supercar being loaded up prior to its premiere at the 2010 Geneva Auto Show. As you can see, the Venom GT is based on the Lotus Elise, but with a significant stretch added to accommodate an LS9 V8 straight out of the Corvette ZR1.
Hennessey has said previously that it expects to squeeze 1000-horsepower out of the twin turbocharged V8 while keeping vehicle weight down to 2,395 pounds. So yeah, some simple math says this car will be ridiculously fast.

That things looks mean, but my main Q about it is how efficiently is that thing going to get traction with all that power they are claiming to put in it.
Edit: For some reason when I think about the crazy engine they are putting in this thing reminds me of this other crazy mad lab production.
