    Just the Facts:
    • Hennessey has contracted with DiMora to distribute the Venom GT in the Middle East and India.
    • The Houston-based firm introduced the Lotus-based Venom GT last week.
    • This rather insane supercar has a midmounted LS9 V8 and a $600,000 price tag.

    HOUSTON — Hennessey Performance Engineering says that Alfred DiMora of DiMora Motorcar will be the exclusive distributor in the Middle East and India for the new Venom GT and other HPE vehicles.

    DiMora has been associated with a number of high-end vehicles, including his own $2 million Natalia SLS 2, which has been on the drawing board since 2006.

    The Venom GT was formally unveiled last week. HPE plans to offer 725-, 1,000- and 1,200-horsepower variants of the Lotus-based supercar, which has a General Motors-sourced supercharged 6.2-liter LS9 V8. The 1,000- and 1,200-hp versions add twin turbochargers. All will be priced from around $600,000.

    Inside Line says: If there's a market for the $600,000 Venom GT, it's probably in the Middle East. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent
