At least they've moved from robbing the Lotus look and decided to rob some stuff from a viper roof and sneaking in some Ferrari like head lights. How durable is a 1500 HP motor?

To me it even looks a little bit too smooth, but i like it. I liked the way it looked as an Elise anyway; but this is an improvement for sure.

This just in from John Hennessey regarding the 2014 Venom GT2. We're told that the car will carry a sticker price of $1.25 million to start, and that the optional seven-speed paddle-shift transmission will be a $165,000 option. Further, Hennessey will continue to sell both the Venom GT and the Venom GT2 – the new car is not a replacement for the older, in other words.

Trust me, the buyer of this car already has a 997TT/GT-R/Viper/Z06/Ford GT/whatever that is "sensibly" fast. They plunge for a $1,000,000 car because of how insane it is. I'm sure this car could be faster with 4WD, traction control, and ABS, but that's not the point.

Plus, Matt Farah drove the regular Venom GT and the car hooked up (albeit from a roll in 2nd gear) better than I would have thought.

These are record numbers!. Think koenigsegg agera established 0-322 km / h = 17.68 sec, and Hennessey achieves 0-370 km / h = 19.96, really crazy.
