First Production Hennessey Venom GT Shines in Silver

Hennessey Venom GT Production Car

Since revealing the first Venom GT prototype earlier this spring sporting a stout 725 hp supercharged LS9 V8, the resounding consensus seemed to be, “I can’t wait to see what the twin turbo version will be like!”.

Well, the wait was short, and now it’s here. The first production-ready Hennessey Venom GT — in pure twin turbo V8 glory — is complete and already on its way to its brand new owner in the UAE via Hennessey’s exclusive Middle East distributor, Mr. Al DiMora of DiMora Motorcar.

Producing 1,200 bhp from a twin turbo 6.2L LS-series V8, the silver Venom GT is decked out in all the production goodies: A carbon fiber body, full custom upholstered interior and barely tipping the scales with a scant curb weight of just over 2,600 pounds with a full tank of gas (all 18 gallons worth).
