$950,000 and every penny is worth it!
 

Nope not at all

Ehhh...I'd take one but for the money I would buy two or three other cars. Not a huge fan of the looks, but admire the engineering put forth behind it.

Steven Tyler apparently thinks so. Except he got his with a removable top!

You can buy a nice house for $950,000, even in LA.

yeah it'd be worth it if you'd actually get what you pay for. Hennessy is a crook. i'd never do business with that thief.

$950K. . . for a car? A CAR? A C A R?

Any bets on when Tyler and Venom become the latest Hollywood crash victims. And no it's not worth it.

Porsche GT meets a Noble with a side of Lotus Exige.

If I had 10 billion + dollars, I would buy one too

If I had 2 million dollars worth, no I wouldn't buy it

hows the guy still in business?

just what I wanted! An ugly a$$ and hacked up lotus limo with stupid amounts of power, all put together by a guy with very questionable business practices.

Not worth it!

Personally I would rather have a GTR with the Alpha 12 package. And still come out over $500,000 ahead.

Whats with the Lotus styling? why can't they come up with new design?

Thinking the same,

way too long

That's a tempting wager. But given he's pushed the envelope, during the height of his success, I'd suggest he's a stayer....#luckyknt :)

I think its too hard to build a balanced road car at those power levels.

Fastest car on Earth with less prestige than a $200k Ferrari. Whether or not you think it's "worth it" depends on what your priorities are I guess.

:shake:

I'd rather have this

I agree

Not as practical as the Venom, but surely faster and more fun.

I think the Venom looks great from the outside, but I don't think the car is worth the near million dollar price. Its got the power for sure, but the exposed tube frame/chassis in the interior is ghetto for a car of this price tag. The exposed tube frame looks especially bad in Steven Tyler's Targa.

This is what a Targa is suppose to look like:

However, I think the Venon is a lot better then the kit car looks and rubber maid parts bin interior of the SSC Ultimate Aero though.

I would much rather have an Egg...

I feel like I'd enjoy a regular lotus or a lightly modded lotus more than this monstrosity.

Not a fan of that exposed roll bar on the Venom.

geez you guys are a tough crowd, i know the near 1 million price tag is ridiculous but if it were 5 or 600k i think it would be worth it. its basically a lotus exige on roids, i never quite liked the small body of the lotus' but in my opinion the longer styling of this car just screams sex appeal. its good to see a hollywood guy know something about cars (or atleast looks like he does), i flipped to E the other day and there was an episode with Kim Kardashians Ferrari 458 Italia i cringed... she probably thinks its just another fashion accessory :faint:

So what did Hennessey do? Never heard of him being a theif?

It could be $100k and Hennessy still wouldn't get a penny from me. He has screwed over way too many people. Especially if your out of state.

he screwed over way too many customers. Most of the people he screwed over were out of state. Google it. Supposedly ownership/management changed has happened but they have been sued wayyyyy too many times compared to other tuners. There are plenty of tuners out there that do better work.

I just read a thread on a forum of him arguing with a customer... he's like a 5 year old, just replying with swears.
Heres the link if anyone wants some entertainment

It might have an "Engine Start" button, but it doesn't have a 9K redline...

Half this car comes from a less than 100k Exige, and the other half is probably chevy parts. Near 1m for this? Just another fast car to me, and I don't understand how it could possibly be compared to a Veyron or Segg. I just see it as a fast Corvette covered by Lotus panels than a supercar.

Imho this is the nicest car made.

I could think of a few cars I'd rather purchase with $950k and pocket the rest for retirement:

Ferrari F40
Ferrari 430 Scuderia
Porsche GT Carrera
Lexus LF-A
Lamborghini Superlegerria
Pagani Zonda

Id get like 100 s2000s and give them away :LOL:

Stupid, if you want to name your own car build it from scratch. Dont take someone elses design and modify it and name it your own.
Stupid company. I have read 1000's of posts where this guy rips off people.

Not even close. Don't care if it had 10,000 hp. Blah.

real talk.

Yeah, the car is cool, it's stupid fast (but so are other far less expensive cars), and I think the looks are great, but for 1 million dollars I can think of other shit to buy. Like a Carrera GT AND a house....

or a Harem....I haven't decided which I would rather have...

Mike

wow, didn't really know that John Hennessy was such a bad/corrupt businessman.. hearing all of this i wouldnt buy one (if i could :LOL: ) but i have to admit the elongated lotus design really gets me; it looks like the epitome of a supercar IMO. but i would rather have a house thats worth 1M than a car thats worth 1m. i just like the design and its stupid fast engine not soo much the sticker price and the company that builds it.

Not worth it even if I trusted or respected JH. I guess it only takes a few suckers, I mean customers, to be successful in that price bank.
