Hennessey Venom GT!!!!! that car will RAPE everything on the market cause as you know hennessey is know for making run-of -the-mill sports cars in to cats that destroy bugattis like the 1200hp viper that is found to be more reliable than the Veyron! so here it goes lotus exige + 1000 Corvette ZR1 twin turbo motor = 0-60 of 2.2 seconds and top speed in the range of 260mph!!!!!!!!!! and most likely costing around $300,000 bucks!!!!!
Ok here are a little speculation on its road going specs:
Motor:
Chevrolet® Corvette® LS-9
( The motor will retain its Super Charger but will gain the added benefit of a Twin Turbo Charger system that will likely resemble that of Hennessey’s® Viper® systems ).
Aluminum Block Twin Cam 32 Valve with a 7400RPM Redline.
Is not clear yet how it will be mounted beyond it being Mid-engined but with the addition of 12 inches to the front and rear width it maybe mounted transversely ( From right to Left opposed to the more typical front to back ) but do to fabrications cost of building a whole new transmission just for the car ( Cause no aftermarket company currently makes a transmission that can be mated to the LS-9 motor if it is transversely and to keep cost down one would assume Hennessey® would continue to barrow other parts from other companies ).
Horse Power:
1000-1200
(Depending on if they are aiming to match or destroy their European revivals)
Ft-Lb of Torque:
900-1000
Weight:
It was claimed by Hennessey® six months ago that it will weigh around 2800 pounds and this is still very likely cause the car is only two feet longer and a foot wider and the motor (LS-9) only being 400 some odd pounds heavier that figure will be likely. Hennessey® Will be aiming for a perfect 50/50 weight distribution to maintain the Exige® based car’s renowned handling.
Width:
80 Inches (12 More than a normal Exige®.)
Length:
173 Inches (24 More than a normal Exige®.)
Height:
45 Inches (Assumed one inch drop front and rear for improved high speed stability.)
Brakes:
The Venom GT® will be fitted with carbon brakes as standard most likely from AP Racing®
Fronts will be 15in Carbon disks fitted with 8 pot calipers and the rears will be 14in carbon disks with six pot calipers. (These are the best brakes you can get from AP Racing®. This may change if StopTech® introduces a new series of carbon brake systems.)
