Hennessey Venom GT Concept - Fast?

Now I am not one for american cars - but done by UK car designer Steve Everitt the Venom GT would in theory use the Venom 1000 Twin Turbo Viper v10 engine - but with a very light weight mid engine chassis. Now that sounds good, promising and like something you would buy. But chances are you would die in it - that's if it ever gets made.



Still its spec looks promising and as a fast car the Hennessey Venom GT Concept definately stacks up, although in real life I am unsure of the realisticalness of this Bugatti Veyron on a diet. The veyron looks heavy, and that's reassuring when your going 250mph, but this thing looks like a feather. Now feathers aren't really reassuring at 250mph.
