Hennessey Venom GT makes UK debut
Being avid readers of Top Gear, you'll no doubt be aware that John Hennessey's Venom GT packs enough firepower to destroy Jupiter and is quicker than a startled proboscis monkey.

He's decided to showcase the fourth and final production Venom GT of 2011 on the privileged lawns of the Salon Prive supercar show. That's it right there, above. Despite your initial worries concerning the health of said GT, it's not ill, it's supposed to be yellow. It is, in fact, the first yellow Venom GT.

This gives us licence to publish more pictures of it, because you've never seen it in this colour before. And are unlikely to see it again any time soon (he's making just five next year).

Good luck, I say, to the first person who decides to try out its claimed top speed.

You're gonna need balls of cast iron.

There is something about this I can't get into. Maybe because it looks like the front is wider than the back, giving it goofy proportions?

Anyways, I really like the rims on that range rover.

My sentiments exactly. It looks disproportionate from some angles.

It it just me, or does it look very much like an Exige with a widebody kit and some weird rear-end extension?
