Hennessey Venom GT: Even more power

 As if 1,200 horsepower is not enough, Hennessey Performance preparations for another 300 hp to squeeze more out of their frog. The Venom GT2 as the car is baptized soon on sale for $ 1.25 million each.

A call to Hennessey's headquarters in the U.S. Texas and it is surely possible to Venom GT2 also on Dutch plates to obtain. The question is whether you should want, because the purchase price including taxes would sometimes by two million to shoot. For that money you have to turn yourself also. Real mates want nothing more, but most will have their hands more than full with just over 1,500 horsepower. For those who wish, there is a 7-speed automatic with shift paddles available. The extra cost of this amounts to an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, or expressed in numbers $ 165,000.

Two flashes
In short, a Hennessey Venom GT2 drive is not cheap. But for all that money you get something back. "A car with one of the most favorable hp / weight ratios," said John Hennessey, the big boss at Hennessey Performance. How the performance of the updated GT2 exact breakdown is not yet known, but will be even better than the GT with 'poor' 1,200 horsepower. Each hp from that model requires just 900 grams in motion and keeps resulting in acceleration to 100 km / h in 2.2 seconds. The GT2 will probably trick after two flashes already have conjured out of the hat. And top speed? Given that at speeds above 400 km / h car seriously more power should contain for every 1 km / h more, we estimate the top of the GT2 at 435 km / h. The GT (1) can, in theory, 420 km / h. The roof would blow it off!
