Hennessey Venom GT: The World's Fastest Tuned Car - /TUNED

DRIVE EXCLUSIVE: With only six examples built to date, the Hennessey Venom GT could be considered the fastest street car in the world. Built off the Lotus Exige, this tuner car packs a 1200+ horsepower punch with a theoretical top speed of 272mph. Host Matt Farah takes a quick ride in the million dollar Texas built supercar for the Season 3 premiere of TUNED on DRIVE.

A lot of the commenters don’t realize this dream of a car is 10 years old now. 10 years ago this was smoking everything in existence and it will still smoke everything below the top 1 percent. Koenigsegg and Bugatti were the only production companies in the same breath and even they probably tipped their hats to John Hennessy for this monster. Folks this comes out of the box like this. No assembly required. That’s worth admiration.

Who’s still coming back to this masterpiece of a video? It’s been 10 years and this still puts a smile on my face.

I watched this video when it first dropped, and 11 years later its still one of my favorite car videos of all time. The story, the edit, the raw reaction, the passion, it cant be faked. Its one of John and Matts greatest creations.

"Maybe adding horsepower isn't always the answer" he said, about a car with 1244 hp lol

[Kussler]

It looks absolutely stunning! The long wheelbase and the wide, aggressive styling fits a "Lotus" so well, incredible! And the power is... well... crazy!

Car accelerates so hard that it makes Matt's face look thinner...

"Look John, I didn't crash it!"

4:40 to 5:18 His reaction to that acceleration could be my EXACT reaction if I drive this beast one day 😂

If you drive a 4cyl economy car and play car racing games on your tv, you are not allowed to criticize this car.

I love Hennessey Venom GT.
1. Modified Beautiful Lotus body and chassis. (Longwheel base & WideBody🤤)
2. GM LS engine with Twin turbocharged.
3. Manual transmission.
4. Brembo big Brake.
5. Finally, its design was neat and tidy with many carbonfiber exterior and interior.
