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 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

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.
