Did a quick search and didn't see anyone post anything on this yet, but....

That page links to another page on the new & improved Bugatti..

(yes I realize this isn't the most reliable source, but still something cool)

Wonder if it will still be shitty build quality that the Venom GT currently holds.

I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, it's Hennessey, the media's favorite fanboy.

I don't know much about the Venom GT at all. What makes you say shitty build quality? (asking because I'm purely curious, not trying to argue!)

Let's just say that his shitty reputation precedes him. Many of his customers have a very sour taste in their mouth, and lost money, over dealings with him.

Ah, I see. I wasn't aware! (not that I'll ever be buying from his regardless lol, but still good to know)

That's not to say that the Venom isn't a nice car. It's surely a beast.

That looks pretty sick. I despise Hennessey but the design looks good.

Its still based off another car. Tired of this guy and his shit. He needs to either (A) build his own chassis and go into full production or (B) drop off the face of the earth.

How many Venoms did they even build? Havent seen shit about them besides the top speed tests and the one owned by Steven Tyler.

A car designed and built by an asshole?

You just know it's going to be shit.

 

[JD03Cobra]

I'll take one!

Oh boy, I didn't realize this guy was such a douche lol.

I myself and some people I know have seen them in person, me at Houston cars and coffee one time, the others I'm not sure.

The Venom GT is basically a kit car built from a Lotus with a monster motor. The gaps and lines were so far off and no where near lining up. Up close, it's definitely not something you'd pay $1M for.

1,000,000 for a kit car is absolutely insane. I read in jalop that he sold 16 of the Venom GT's and he is planning on selling 30 of the F5 cars. I wonder what the true cost is and his profit from each car?

Damn I would love to have one as well once I hit the lottery of course

I would not let H rub my lawnmower.

looks like hellcat's 15 minutes of fame is up lol

Fwiw, I wouldn't mind seeing this thing surpass the Bugatti for the world record. Apparently it's already reached 270 mph

 

[RDJ]

wonder whose car he took parts off of to make that? .. I wouldn't own jack shit with his name on it. I doubt I would take one if he gave it to me but free just might be the right price

 

[sunburned]

Still based off an elise, but this one stole it's style from the Saleen S5S concept. Maybe he thought it was old enough that people wouldn't remember? It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the Hennessey rendering

All the haters, I guess there is plenty of room to talk when you're also trying to build the fastest cars on the planet.

Oh yeah.
