The Venom GT is powered by a Texas-built, twin-turbocharged Hennessey Chevrolet LS-series aluminum V8 engine producing 1200 HP and 1,135 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 6-speed Ricardo manual transaxle. With a dry weight of 2,548 lbs and a curb weight of 2,685 lbs with a full tank of fuel, the car has an astounding power-to-weight ratio of 2.24 lb/hp. It can go from zero to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds.

Available in both left- and right-hand drive configurations, the Venom GT has three engine options at 725 HP, 1000 HP, and 1200 HP. Prices for the Venom GT begin at $890,000.
