    According to Hennesey Performance (article is from World Car Fans),
    the new Hennesey GT Twin Turbo hits 272 MPH.

    Guess thats what you get when you shove a Chevy LS7 6.2 twin turbo V8
    (pumping out around 1200 BHP) into a carbon fibre matchbox!

    Hennesey Performance Website here.

    Guess that proves the old statement,

    If less is more, think of how much more would more be!

    Sure it looks ridicules, but hypercars are meant too.
    Not really something for rolling up to a posh party in, mind you.

    $750,000 in Europe.

    Think of how many Skoda Octavia you could buy for that!

    No no no. I keep telling everyone, the new currency unit is Superbs, not Octavias! :D

    Until they make a SuperdVRs, I have no interest.

    some of the comments on that page were a laugh:
    I want a better sound...waaaaa!!! Bunch 'o tards. If it sounded like a Prius, I'd still drive the sh!t out of it
    I will give this car props when it really reaches its "numbers" For now its junk.
