Hennessey Venom GT: 70 - 215 mph Acceleration

[claudiovtec]

A me non piace

[dkrypto911]

@hdidane00 Sounds like you're just jealous this thing is an amazing car and that it isn't made by Europeans. If it was made by Europeans you would be all over this shit.

[hdidane00]

venon : too rubbish too americanish

[elchicoboy]

@hdidane00 then buy yourself a 3 million dollar car aka veyron that cannot outstand the speeds of this one. and this one's cheaper.

[SidTitus]

@hdidane00 thanks bro

[SidTitus]

buggatti got its ass kicked

[highvelocity123]

It's a badass...seems like the traction control held it in a few areas.

[DoomDriver]

We're still waiting for the 250+ mph video!...

[CGStreetSweeper]

jesus!! is the car too powerful for the tires?? it seems like you were holding back. i wouldnt doubt for a second that this car could reach that speed much quicker

[Jonoichi]

Hey Jeremy, do us fans a favor and review the car please. I want to see yet another American car blow your British socks right off :)

[braro442]

Needs to be tested on the Ehra-Lessien track.

[VivaLaNick335]

you guys should bring one of these down to TX2K12

[Incabus69]

It has shown nothing and it's been out for nearly a year. Shut up or put up.

[Andreidade100]

It´s the sound of the corvette?

[V8Supercar1]

@Andreidade100: Thats no surprised. Its got a highly modified LS9 corvette engine. :)

[83Nini]

in search of full throttle top speed run... it's been forever since the car's out and we're not getting anything from it

[COD4SNIPER2]

this car has been out for nearly a year and I have yet to find a 1/4 mile run or a top speed run....come on guys, dont let us down like this. You make millions but yet you cannot upload important videos to your fans? OVER A YEAR........

[Z28ChevySB]

SBC Power!

[bullittben50]

Lame video....all you see is a speedo.

[bullittben50]

Sorry, but showing a speedo go up to 200+ and not showing the car actually doing 200+ is lame.

[800hennessy]

@bullittben50 I bet Houston Police Department would really like a video of a company doing 215 on the highway...

[justusantonyjose1991]

you guys planning to do a speed run ?? 275 mph... :D

[marklaisa]

why didnt you redline it?

[YaGottaBeKidding]

Holy $&*# !!!  That makes my Atom seem like a pedal car!

[YaGottaBeKidding]

Holy $&*# !!!

[Toolband42O]

Holy shit... How does it feel to have created a beast that would devour a Veyron? :)

[ATsUduobleT]

Can anything beat this!?!

[ATsUduobleT]

Which gears is used for this run, anybody know?

[ondemand87]

smh...wasnt even giving the sum bitch gas...NICE

[DrSlipperz89]

..... And that was low boost

[slick88zx]

This car has to do the 1/4 in less than 10 seconds easy, I'm guessing low 9's.

[damiata101]

@pooky911 it's fast...

[NaiF0560959342]

I hear the voice of corvette :)

[5440Borderline]

120mph-180mph in 5 seconds. Who says Americans don't know how to build cars? :P

[11Steinway]

Did he say that was low boost?!? Wow!!

[aftersh0ck159]

may i say... good freaking bye bugatti i love this car plus its a hell of a lot faster!

[smallvllleowns]

i just had to say... FUCK

[pa1nt13aller]

oh this WILL be in season 18 on topgear...that is a definite.

[pooky911]

in kph please

[bobfakkel]

@pooky911 it went from 60 ( 100km ) to 215 ( 344km )

[ArmyMedicRN]

@pooky911 Google it

[SirKowalski666]

@pooky911 He reaches around 350 kph in this video, on low boost.

[DwnNvr]

@pooky911 That was 112kph to 346kph. Better?

[YSBCITTAR]

@pooky911 Around the 350kph mark..

[somedudeinva]

@pooky911 That's from about 110 to 350 kph.

[559cheeto]

@pooky911

One Million Miles per Hour, this car is fast!

[911SHIZBO]

Lol wow, not even trying.... what a beast

[MilitantKaos]

That was fucking immense

[TheChevyfordguy]

american ls9 v8, american design, you gotta love american cars.

[WellImHereNow]

@TheChevyfordguy near all american execpt for the outer design (since based mosty on a lotus) and the gearbox

[jimmybobbikins]

MPH?! ... crikey :D

[IsmokeTouch]

Omg that looks so insane, can I try please? ;)

[zanjani13]

that is a friggen BEAST!

[ColdfireTrilogy]

GT5 DLC PLEAASEEEE

[maitreMechant0]

if that's write TOP GEAR TOP GEAR evrywere they should see it!!!

[watchforfinger]

TOP GEAR ARE YOU LISTENING !!!

[TheMrbean97]

u know TOPGEAR know about this..go check it

[samir5904]

Put this car on top gear

[kingofquartz]

I cannot wait to see a test of this car. Actual acceleration numbers, skidpad, slalom and top speed.

[CveleNis81]

Awesomeness meter:

3. Awesome

2.Chuck Norris

1. HPE Designs

[radar3699]

LOL "it gains fuel as well, amazing!"

[cmanclan101]

well thats one way to throw off highway patrol.

[eltotoX]

What happened between 180 and 200? There was a change in engine speed but not in wheel speed. What was that?

[hpedesign]

@eltotoX a bit of clutch slip. the clutch has since been upgraded to handle all of the power.

[eltotoX]

@hpedesign Hah, I thought so. No stock clutch can handle Hennesey power!

[MrGeb48]

whoever said this is a dyno run obviously fails to see the objects flying past the car in the reflection on the gauges

[luigi999ish]

Of course the dude with vtec in his name would say this is a dyno run lmao.

[geteda717]

WOW!

[FalkataSports]

Good god thats fast!!!

[iXchani91]

This car is really awesome, can't wait to see more vids of it in action.

[theVTECmaster]

Dyno run? Just do a legit video. U have the money. Won't be impressed until its tested by a third party

[SXRguyinMA]

@theVTECmaster No dyno run you import clown. Look at the reflection in the gauge cluster. You can clearly see him going under an overpass of some sort. Go troll on your VTECPOSCRAP forums -.-

[7gabe0mike7]

Not even fuel efficient, fuel productive!

[Guizmo900]

Not even broken-in...

[AgentJeff22]

At 1:02 Does he say that's low boost? Crazy!

[1stgengsx]

Holy hell that things is fast!

[disengagejam]

holy shit ... take this to the VW test track ASAP for a top speed test, only problem is they don't want their precious Bugatti record broken !!!!!!!!!!

[FrostyCoug]

The only thing I don't agree with about this car is the price...

"You gotta pay if you wanna play" just doesn't cut it for me.

[Chilli0912]

And where in the world is anyone going to do that ?

[JackalCars]

That is some serious business. And it's got a true manual transmission. And that's awesome.

[ronmann606]

and it gains fuel in the process! Amazing engineering

[mesonofgib]

@ronmann606 Haha, good spot! Almost certainly caused by fuel sloshing around in the tank from the AWESOME ACCELERATION

[donnybrooks18]

Nice! I wonder how fast can it go in the standing mile?

[texastriguy]

Great shot of the dashboard ONLY. Then again, I guess you don't want to advertise to the TX Hwy Patrol that you were screaming down I-10 at 215mph....

[AfterMarketCarStuff]

@texastriguy haha i was thinking the same thing

[TheUsernine]

Im surprised when i talk to people and they dont know about this car. Put it on topgear and so many more people will know about this amazing beast. It would also be insane to watch

[norcalgorilla]

@TheUsernine It was mentioned on The Car Show, so it should get a little more attention now.

[killbaddrivers6]

@shadowforce9 people who love hybrids i bet lol

[treyweez11]

PRAISE GOD!!!!

[UhgeneIgnorian]

@treyweez11 and all his glory!!!!!!!!!!!!

[20CorvetteZr109]

what is top speed of this?

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

It took 16 seconds to go from 60 to 210?

What a slacker!

[11Kanal11]

crazy fast, r there spinning wheels at 190 mph? o.O

[EngineeringExplained]

It hits 200 mph and then it's fuel goes up shortly after. Can you build a better car?!

[turbo04ion]

9 people drive fiat 500's

[BrnoutJerzey]

@ChristewieTV

top gear would never have it. They wouldn't even take the chance of having an American car on the top of their leaderboards.. Which is why they never tested the S7 TT or the ultimate Aero on their track. Too snobby

[ChristewieTV]

@BrnoutJerzey The Venom is built in England

[raptors11111]

This car is not only fast its fuel efficient! He has more fuel after the run than before it!

[kickinbackinOC]

@Buttnut105 "Manage the performance", ok, sure. But Hennessey doesn't just "manage the performance", or engage half-heartedly in mediocrity, this here is a bird of prey, a war ship, a fucking PREDATOR! It's all about WINNING, a sword to decapitate the competition, and those who prefer to be discrete, relish their comfy ride quality, etc, just can't imagine what WINNING is all about. Imagine you are a hunter, you want to kill your prey and eat it. That's what the Venom is all about.

[Buttnut105]

@kickinbackinOC Yeah it's just not my kind of car at all then. I like driving because it's fun, especially in something that's quick, handles well, and feels special. I could care less about "winning" which by the way, doesn't make any sense.

[tognwstokokinomk7]

@shadowforce9

veyron super sport owner ;)

[captainofiron]

@shadowforce9 somebody that owns a regular Lotus, haha

[bigfattutti]

is this real life

[zswickliffe]

This car is so fast that it makes it's own fuel. Impressive.

[MercSLRFan]

Faster than an SS? Maybe.

Better? Not by a mile.

[liftedview]

@MercSLRFan Venom GT is a 100x more exclusive. Don't believe me? Bugatti Veyrons sold: 300. There are only 3 Venom GT's in the world according to wikipedia :P

[TheUsernine]

@MercSLRFan yes way better. i would much rather have this than an ss. Its also like over a million cheaper

[Elmo187]

@MercSLRFan Bugatti fanboy? Definitely.

[RochesterGT]

@shadowforce9 Most likely a Civic owner.

[peeps2142]

THAT was LOW boost? oh god! and why doesn't it rev all the way?

[Elmo187]

@peeps2142 Short shifting.

[iandowdell]

That's insane!!

[sportbilen]

@shadowforce9 Someone from the Bugatti factory probably.

[DemonOfRazgriz89]

@ChristewieTV just because its fast as hell in a straight line, does not mean it will accel on TopGear's test track lol. surely you know how Jeremy feels about American cars

[XxESKIMOxX]

@DemonOfRazgriz89 Just to let you know the only thing american about this car is the motor and transmission. Body (for sure) and suspension is provided by lotus.

[uwersayin]

@DemonOfRazgriz89 Bro, its British

[bennyboy9201]

So when do we see this get to race a Veyron?

[robocock21]

Holy Crap, great job Hennessey!.......You never fail to impress will ridiculously fast cars!

[Stig53KR]

@shadowforce9 An environmentalist.

[sadkflksdf]

I wanna see where the gas tank started and where it ended -_-

[rsfeller]

Awesome...but I"m pretty sure that green display is the same one I have in my 1995 Vw Passat Tdi!

[taylor1038]

and you notice the gas gage goes up a bit after all that, sounds like my kinda car.

[bigbad1000do7a]

would love to race it.... bring it down to dubai sometime to show it some real roads =)

[Acidicheartburn]

This is unbelievable. I am truly unable to imagine how that must have felt.

[chevlumina]

can you make my 3.1 Lumina do that?

[CyBOPOB555]

хочю, хочю, хочю такую машину =)

[scottie56005]

You guys are hurting them! Lift up your foot so they can catch their breath!

[mustang750r]

One person just purchased a Veyron SS. Can't get a refund

[briannasdad05]

I'd like to see this go up against underground racings lambos in the texas mile.

[zachsb3]

fastest car ever on i-10 lol

[trebor121290]

I think I need to change my shorts.

[isenbart89]

if you all listen carefully you can in fact hear the wind noise...this thing is beast, id love to work in your shop and build these things for a living :)

[TheUsernine]

@isenbart89 that whine i think is the turbos

[isenbart89]

@TheUsernine i dont think so, why would the turbos contuinue to make noise on de-acceleration? its a woosh sound not a wine, ie the sound of the wind from high speed

[PKmode]

sounds like its barely hooking up even at those speeds. Holy power

[MrSteadyPanda]

We all know what the outcome is going to be but, 2011 Corvette ZR1 vs. Venom GT( Venom on top)



[djbb1993]

That is crazy

[matau454]

This is better than a Veyron SS :D

[TheSpeakers20]

@matau454 i absolutley love you man

[matau454]

@TheSpeakers20 Pause. XD

[tom666araya]

Hand that beast over the "The Stig"!

[KarlowBOI]

holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[sford01]

Lol, the fuel gauge went up after that pull?

[sford01]

Wow, that was unbelievable. It just accelerated so quickly, it didn't even seem real. I knew it was mph but it seemed like kph the rate the needle was moving. The first thing that comes to mind is: fastest road car I've ever seen. I knew the Venom GT was fast, but not this fast. I'm blown away. Please please please have a proper auto tester drive this car on camera. Top Gear would be fantastic. Just someone who can do it proper justice. Once again, wow...and unbelievable. Well done.

[freshkryp69]

Badass car for sure! One of the best! Only car right now that could give the venom is as, ULTIMA GTR TT AWD. There one out there and it has 1750hp! Both these cars are dream cars!

[Elmo187]

@freshkryp69 Uh the Ultima GTR isn't AWD. Also, the one you are referring to is not twin turboed either. It's twin engined with 2 Hayabusa 1.3L 4 bangers.

[05front]

Two words...... HOLY SSSHHHIIIIIT!

[danoconnell427]

Whats the top speed?

[bbaggy]

i'm the 100th person to like this. not to mention that this video is gonna stir the pot big-time come monday. this is almost unreal...we need to see this car against some other fast cars. have you guys considered toeing up against underground racing's TT gallardos?

[vsci79]

Okay, that ~ 60 to 210 run was no sweat for that car.  But what about the driver?

[jacktown52]

INSANE!!!!! So this is why the boys over at Bugatti decided to "focus" on 4 - door cars... lol

[zachzuke247]

haha it gained a little bit of fuel on that run....again  again!!!

[jtdrye]

Insane.

[luweegy3]

awesome.

[MrCorkster915]

Have you done any top speed runs on this yet?

[Davids70Chevy]

This is astounding. I believe 270+

[MrSteadyPanda]

Is it wrong if I get sexually exited when I watch these videos???

[quadracer786]

holy shit, 215 was a walk in the park for it

[ditchxtr]

I wish my speedometer moved as fast as my tachometer....

[orangeorphan]

Venom>Veyron

[scottishbadboytracks]

LMAO!! bye bye bugatti

[EASiedlecki]

Lol, "That was low boost."

[EASiedlecki]

Do want.

[EASiedlecki]

Do want.

[TinnInches]

The lag. Was that tire spin?

[timyestim]

Must have good weatherstriping then, i do see the reflections now, but still that thing seems awfully quiet inside at 200+ mph other than engine noise. They should post up a video of passenger view...and let us know what kind of radar detector they use

[mageac]

@timyestim the engine is quite loud as well, might just be drowning out the sounds

[chrismalpass97]

They need to make it AWD :D

[Elmo187]

@chrismalpass97 Then it wouldn't be light anymore. It'll be well over 3,000lbs. It's at 2400lbs right now.

[858wells]

haha the gas goes up at :53 

[gunfire456369]

@858wells Sensor is probably at the front of the tank lol

[THAREALDAN]

Awshum XD
