Description: Just the idea of stuffing a hot-rodded LS9 power plant in the back of a Lotus Elise is enough to make our loins ache. And it's exactly the kind of overkill Hennessey Performance Engineering loves to create. Hennessey's Venom GT is available with several power options which shouldn't make any difference in its sub-100-mph performance. And above that, this thing will be insanely quick. Fortunately, Hennessey has done computational fluid dynamics on this most menacing machine. This is just a nice way of saying that it shouldn't get airborne when the speed gets silly.
IL says: Put the wrong sheik behind the wheel of this one and there won't even be a wet spot to clean up when things go wrong.
