Description: Designed to compete with the likes of the Bugatti Veyron and Koenigsegg Agera, the question many have wondered is how fast it really is. Today we have our answer courtesy of John Hennessey's per...

All i see are Hennesey creative way of making videos of this so called supercar, i dnt see enough evidence performance wise in video has this car even perform from a standstill. Put that camera the same way in a corvette and the results will be same
Oh I wanna join! Yet another reason why the car hadn't been tested up and down tracks: there are only 6 of them! Don't be surprised if this car goes 270+ as Hennessey claims
Wyatt, you sad little man. If you can respect the engineering that has gone into this, we'll that's just your loss. This thing is straight up beast.
Bugatti Veyron tires have been tested to do 250 mph. The tires on the Venom GT are rated "Y" which is 186 mph.
@Jake I CAN do the math a F1 car weighs 605kg with the pilot and has 750+hp this car has 1200+hp for I think 1100-1250kg ;)
Wyatt, this is soooo much more than that. It's extremely sophisticated. Go research this car a little bit and then come back
The problem is... The Bugatti and the Agera are beautifully engineered (I'll never like the way the Agera looks, but I massively respect the engineering), while this is just a Lotus with a small block tossed in the middle
Yeah Philip. Those dudes have to have a specific compound of tire too. I wouldn't try to take this to the salt flats unless they built a big ass road on it.
Umm because the salt flats have regulation on what your car must be equipped with to go certain speeds and do u have any idea how horrible traction is.. its one of the biggest reason for high speed crashes on the salt flats is due to sudden loss of traction
No place to one up the Veyron and that's why they haven't done it? Haha how about Bonnyville... It's suspicious that they don't perform official tests
Why would they lie about this? They wouldn't take on a car like the Veyron unless they were confident it could compete.
Okay Hennessy, show me the electronic speedometer and then I'll believe you
Redge did u forget the fact that this is besically a lotus exige with a 1000+ HP motor swap... the times are 100% real and not to mention that even with all that power this car kept its lotus handling from what I've read
Of course it's real. Do the math. A car with its power to weight ratio is aptly equipped to do much more than that.
It's a good car but 0-300kph in 13sec It's just impossible because It's the Time of a F1 car under the rain with rain tires so I doubt the numbers but if It's real respect to Hennesey ;)
I agree with Preston entirely. Couldn't have said it better myself. Good job Hennessey, this is an amazing piece of machinery.
for what it is..the Veyron is a technological marvel, ugly as hell, but a wonderful machine. Some people don't get that if they were to have a fair and equal chance..SSC, Koenigsegg, and Hennessey would mop the floor with the Veyron SS
The only reason they can't "one up" Bugatti is there is no place in America to do it. Bugatti has the VW track..which has a level-grade Tarmac at 5 miles in length. There is no way on Earth they'll let another company test and beat them on their turf
"Leave no doubt"..that should have been the title of this video! and that they did! I also have no doubt this would take an Agera to its max and walk away from it.
230. I don't really care about top speed but I still don't understand why these manufacturers rarely do official top speed tests to 1 up the Veryron.
That's ridiculous! What is that the equivalent to? 220? Sorry I'm American :)
@carter, they are optional just like on the exige, they did away with them in the new generation, and Hennessey won't be using the new generations from end because they delevloped there one face for it
@Brandon the newer ones don't have them. This One is older They're based off the lotus exige, so now that the exige doesn't have those double lights any more, neither does the Venom GT.
It just looks fantastic. And it is so lethally quick, I would completely accept the excuse that the driver just grazed the throttle and broke the limit-probably would add around another 20mph to your current speed... Any longer, your organs will wilt
I can't imagine feeling the power through the shifter. Must be an amazing feeling.
I bet most people can't point out the turbo's. They are actually pretty decent in size. You need to look at the opening not the whole turbo.....
Reminds me of the GT40's engine, didnt they call it the "bag of snakes" or something like that?
0-60 is probably 2.xxx and the 0-100 is probably 4 or 5 seconds. Not guaranteed
Holy crap, those turbos aren't even that big.. imagine bigger ones O.o.. it can be even crazier?
Yeah the Hennessy ZR1 is a monster!
What about they're Vipers? Could be wrong but I think theyve done some Vettes as well
Why wouldn't you mention the Hennessy venom 1000? Or any of the vipers they have done, for that matter.
Exactly ha
Same here Chris. No worries though, just means we are more comfortable in super cars haha
I was born in texas but im so short :D
