Hennessey Performance Engineering has announced that their Venom GT Concept will be officially unveiled at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. The car is equipped with a V8 engine which capable to produce 1200bhp. The Venom GT is expected to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 2.4 seconds before hitting a top speed of 272 mph (440 km/h). If Hennessey is correct, the Venom GT will easily surpass the Bugatti Veyron's top speed of 254 mph (408 km/h). Should that fail to impress you, Hennessy also says the Venom GT will accelerate from 0-100 mph in 5.3 seconds, 0-150 mph in 8.9 seconds, and 0-200 mph in 14.3 seconds.

In order to achieve these insane performance figures, Hennessey strictly followed the idea of creating a lightweight supercar. The company estimates that Venom GT will weigh less than 2,400 lbs which is roughly 1,700 lbs lighter than the Veyron. The Venom GT has an aggressive appearance that should produce plenty of downforce thanks to its massive "VenomAero" rear wing. The car is fitted a pair of carbon brake rotors measuring at 6 piston calipers at the front and 4 piston caliper at the rear which help to decelerate the car in shorter time.
