Hennessey VENOM GT Concept Car Headed for Geneva with 1200bhp

Why does this car look so much like an Exige? And those are insane performance figures.

WoW .. i put wings ,, then fly :D

Does Steve Everitt happen to work for Lotus? That thing doesn't look like or slightly resemble an Exige, it IS an Exige. You can't just change a few dimensions and call it your own.

Looks Like The Lotus Exige GT3 Racer To Me.

The one thing that really distinguishes Veyron from competitors is it's original exterior. Every other sport car looks like some other sport car in one way or another.

Very fast. but it is still just an Exige. For some reason I'd still take a lotus over this. I dunno why. :P

Nice Exige drawings.

It's a shame that all designers are foul these days... Nobody can design a car that isn't based on another car.

This thing smells all wrong. First off, it plagiarises an Exige. Not only is that ethically questionable, it raises the question of who will pay what these guys will be asking for something that looks like a ?40K Lotus. Secondly, the performance stats. I read that the Veyron would need an additional 100bhp to add 1mph to its top speed. How do these guys think they're going to get to 272mph? A lighter car will help acceleration, but low weight doesn't help in ultimate top speed, as inertia is fighting against the air at 250mph. Is this thing REALLY so much air efficient than the Veyron that it can 20mph more with just 200bhp extra? I think they've lost the plot!

2400 lbs, it doesn't have the mass to get up to over 270mph, I don't care how much horsepower you have.

Weren't Hennessey having tons of issues delivering Vipers to customers who had paid? How are they still in business?

To be honest on a second look, I quite like the Mclaren F1, Carrera GT type lines from the front and side.

Elise with 12,000,000 HP; where do I sign?

looks very original doesnt it.... as original as the geely ge on the r-r phantom...

I don't know about you, but I'm getting bored of car manufacturers making street legal race cars. At the end of the day it's all overkill. I prefer a "normal" looking car with respectable horsepower (less than 500) that is still fast, can handle and has amenities.

interesting...wont pass emissions in the states for sure, not to say california

A lotus? I always wondered what would a lotus would be with a massive engine. I think this is an exaggeration, but now I know. (lol, even if it's not a lotus)

why try beating the veyron first the 9ff ruf, then the ssc thingy, then the mosler landshark, now this and countless others have tried to beat up the veyron but they wont come into production or end up matching the performance to the figures they produce. what an absolute mess at the back and a lotus exige front?
