Hennessey Venom GT, flaunted as the fastest “hardtop coupe and convertible” in the world, will soon be bidding adieu. After being in production for only six years and selling a dozen cars during its production run, the American hypercar has officially concluded its production. To commemorate the final Venom GT built, Hennessey Performance (HPE) is making a “Final Edition” of its 270+ mph supercar. The Venom GT Final Edition is finished in a special “glacier blue” paint with white stripes and is powered by the same twin turbo 7.0 Liter V8 engine producing 1,451 bhp. The Final Edition has already been sold at the price of $1.2 millon. Since its inception, Texas-based HPE built only 12 road-going Venom GT’s and one working prototype. The first six models were hardtop coupes, whereas the rest of the six were roadsters. Over the past six years of production, the power figures of the Venom GT grew from 1,000 bhp initially to the astonishing 1,451bhp, says the carmaker. With a combined weight of just 1,245kg, the Venom GT brags of becoming the first supercar to attain and exceed the power to weight ratio of 1:1. The successor to the Venom GT is already in place: the Venom F5, to be introduced sometime later this year. The Venom F5 will be taking on none other than the Bugatti Chiron.
