Video: Hennessey Venom on the dyno - 933 hp at the wheels!

By now, we all know that Hennessey has a reputation for taking fast cars and bestowing upon them loads of horsepower. But now they are working on something quite ambitious for even an experienced tuner - building their own car from the ground up.

And an impressive car it is. We have seen pictures, video, and read lots of specs on the Venom GT, but until all the talk is backed up with some real dyno time, naturally everyone will have doubts. This video effectively silences them.

The final version of the GT features a twin turbo V8 sourced from the Corvette ZR1, and it churns out 933 rear wheel horsepower and 874 lb-ft of torque. And this is with regular old pump gas, no race fuel here. We are just guessing, but we don't think that a gross hp of over 1,000 is going to be a problem.
