Hennessey Performance Engineering Venom GT

The Venom GT will start at around $600k (£400k). For that you'll get a 6.2-litre supercharged LS9 GM V8 bolted into a stretched, twisted, tweaked and strengthened Lotus Elise tub. Power is 715bhp, with 741lb ft of torque available at just 3200rpm. This is all is transmitted to the rear-wheels via a British-built (go Blighty, etc) Ricardo gearbox.

And that's just the base model. For a commensurate hike in price, HPE will sell you a twin-turbocharged version with either 986bhp and 900lb ft, or 1184bhp and 1100lb ft. Gulp.

Alright, it is based on an elise, some serious chassis modification must have been done.

Think the clue is the took an ok looking car that costs about £25k new, made it a bit bigger to fit a beast of an engine in increased the price by nearly 1600%

Agreed and fair play to them for it

But it looks tatty

For £400k I'd expect it to look immaculate!

Could be a prototype but it would be a bit of a marketing Faux-par to use those photos?
