The Venom GT has a full interior, AC, power mirrors, stereo with navigation, bluetooth, ipod integration and hands free cellular service. The quality of leather and carbon fiber in the interior are of the highest standards. Remember that the Venom GT was designed for maximum performance and minimal weight. That is why it is nearly 1,300 lbs lighter than a Veyron. The cockpit design is simple and minimalist. But dont mistake it for a race car or an Aerial Atom. It's a real car with all of the same things you would expect from any other modern supercar.
The Venom GT comes with traction control as it would be nearly impossible to drive wide open without it.
We have not been invited by TG as of yet. That would be a wonderful opportunity and we would be glad to give them the car if they asked.
Thanks for asking.

But surely Top Gear are interested after the flattering segment they gave you in the August 2010 issue.

Chassis 2 is owned by a client in the middle east. Chassis 4 is now under construction and will be on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed from June 30 through July 3. We have sold out our 2011 production.

Goodwood frowns on commercialization. I wont even have a Hennessey sticker on the car. Sorry mate.

Welcome John, I know I'd be scared to death to drive this thing but that doesn't stop me from having an immense amount of respect for such a creation. I look forward to seeing how it does and perhaps seeing this in person one day. Will you plan on having a nationwide tour for TS members?

Houston had the opportunity to see this vehicle in person at Houston Coffee & Cars, not the red one shown here but the silver vehicle. Hennessey Performance were passing out brochures of the vehicle, got my hand on one but wasn’t able to get John Hennessey himself to sign it. The car is undoubtedly stunning in person!
Here is a photo from Houston Coffee & Cars, December 2010.
