Hennessey Venon GT - production starts

What do you guys think of the Hennessey Venon GT - first one just rolled off the production line. up to 1200hp. 1000hp version does 0-300km/h in 14.9secs, but a surprisingly high drag coeff. of 0.36. Think the inside looks cheap. Dont know how much they cost - $600k upwards I think. Hopefully wont be long before we have some race videos from the first Arab owner to watch.

Interesting... At 600K+ I can think of quite a few cars I'd rather have... and still have money left over...

I like the car but the price is insane! To me its a car that should fit in with the Noble's, which are sub 200k.

It's Hennessey - Why charge what it's worth, when you can charge sooooo much more for less?

Somebody will pay... People with money who don't spend time on forums learning about their purchases.
