It's been 5 years since Hennessey introduced the Venom GT, the only production car that's faster than the Bugatti Veyron, and the Texas based company has just announced than an updated version of the supercar will be offered for 2016 model year.Fitted with an upgraded V-8 engine that delivers more power than ever.
EXTERIOR
Although it comes with an updated engine, the 2016 Venom GT is identical to last year's supercar in terms of design. Given the Venom GT was extremely aerodynamic and stable since day one, it wouldn't have made sense for Hennessey to alter the supercar's bodywork. The only thing that's new about 2016 Venom GT is the bright yellow paint job and the black stripe running from the nose, across the center of the front hood and toward the rear wing.
INTERIOR
For the uninitiated, much like it's exterior, the Venom GT's cabin is also based on the Lotus Exige, featuring nearly identical door panels, dashboard, and instrument cluster. Hennessey crafted updates include softer surfaces for the upper dash, a carpeted floor, leather surfaces, race spec steering wheel, and carbon-fiber inserts for the door panels. Hennessey also modified the seats and added a roll cage.
ENGINE
This is where the 2016 Venom GT stands out compared to previous versions. Though it uses the sane Corvette source, twin turbo, 7.0 liter V-8, the Venom GT now boasts a maximum power output of 1,451 horsepower at 7,200 rpm, a 207 horsepower improvement over last year's supercar.
Combined with a weight of only 2,743 pounds and two grippy Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, the massive output enables the Venom GT to hit 60 mph in 2.4 seconds, 100 mph in 4.4 seconds, and 200 mph in 12.8 seconds. these figures make the 2016 model 0.3, 1.2, 1.7 seconds quicker than previous version.
Quarter mile runs also quicker at 9.4 seconds at 167 mph, down from 9.92 seconds at 163 mph. Hennessey claims a top speed in excess of 280 mph, at least 10 mph more than the top speed record the Venom GT set in 2014.
PRICES
Hennessey has announce about the price for 2016 Venom GT, it's about of $1 million.
