This care eats the Bugatti Veyron for lunch!
John Hennessey is a major scam artist. Anyone apart of the car community knows he's ripped off hundreds of people for 10s of thousands of dollars. Also, just so you know that's a rendering not an actual picture of the car.

Also that "Venom GT" is nothing but a kit car. There are all sorts of "supercar killers" being created that will theoretically kill a Veyron, (it's never actually gone 275mph). Stick the most powerful engine you can in a fiberglass tube chassis and it will be fast. Hennessey didn't actually engineer anything.

They took a tube chassis that's available to build your own replica kit cars.

Hired a fiberglass shop to build a shell

Stuff a pushrod Corvette engine with a generic tremac transmission.

Then slapped a "Venom GT" badge on it and claimed it will do 275mph.

The Veyron is on an entirely different level. It's an actual supercar.

W16 with 4 turbos engineered by Bugatti, a very hi-tech AWD system, a twin clutch, 7spd DSG gearbox and a very sophistic chassis with titanium and carbon fiber, (not plastic and fiberglass).

The end result...

A true supercar.
