Hennessey
Venom GT
2010-2014
The Hennessey Venom GT was created with one goal in mind: extreme performance with as little excess as possible. Built around a lightweight Lotus-based platform and extensively reworked by Hennessey, it became one of the defining American supercars of the early 2010s. Its tiny production run, manual gearbox, and record-chasing reputation have made it a particularly rare and distintive supercar.

Venom GT Spyder
The Venom GT Spyder was created after Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler asked Hennessey to build an open-top version of the Venom GT. Despite its removable roof, it retained the raw, lightweight character of the coupé and became particularly notable for setting a world speed record for an open-top production supercar.
