这以上亨尼西剧毒m GT Is One Of The Fastest Cars Ever Made

For Sale /6 Comments

All it will cost you is the small matter of $1.25 million.

Have a million bucks or more burning a hole in your pocket? Then we have just the thing for it: a 2010亨尼西Venom GT, currently up for grabs at Choice Auto Sales in Pittsburg. It has just 745 miles on the clock, and all it'll cost you is the modest sum of $1.25 million.

For those unfamiliar, the Venom GT – though maybe not much to look at – is one of the fastest cars ever made. It's based on a Lotus Elise, and is even titled as such. But Hennessey Performance Engineering took it much further than anything Lotus ever did with the chassis.

That's saying a lot, considering that the Elise's platform has been used as the starting point for such beasts as the Lotus Exige, 340R, 2-Eleven, and 3-Eleven – not to mention the Vauxhall VX200, Melkus RS 2000, and the original Tesla Roadster. But the Venom leaves them all in its wake.

In the modified rear section, Hennessey mounted a 7.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 based on a Chevy small-block and tuned to deliver 1,244 horsepower. That was enough to propel it to a top speed in excess of 270 miles per hour, making it the fastest road-going production car ever made (up to that point).

亨尼西only made a baker's dozen of them: seven coupes and six additional Spyders. That makes them a rather rare commodity to come by, which in turn makes this a rather unusual opportunity... even with its seven-figure price tag.

Of course, that kind of money could get you a second-hand Bugatti, Pagani, or Koenigsegg instead. But the Venom GT (placed in the right hands) could smoke most any of them, and though based on a British chassis, it's American. And short of maybe anSSC Tuatara,Saleen S7, or Hennessey's own newVenom F5, it's the fastest American car you're likely to find.
