Supercars and hypercars such as the Ford GT, Bugatti Chiron and other hybrid supercars have been entering the market constantly. With other automotive brands applying several advancements to their respective models, the Hennessey Venom GT Final Edition had finally joined in on the fun. However, this would be the last installment of the franchise after being lodged as the fastest automobile to ever grace the concrete roads.

The Models' Records. The Hennessey Venom GT franchise had been around since 2010 and had gained the title "tiny car, big engine." As reported by Road and Track, despite breaking the Guinness world record for the quickest car from 0-300 km/h, its top speed was never declared official; thus, the Bugatti Veyron holds the record while the vehicle has the title "World's Fastest Convertible."

The Specs. The brand new Hennessey Venom GT Final Edition has a 1.8L four-cylinder supplanted by a 7.0L twin-turbocharged LS V8 engine, has 1,000-1,451hp powertrain, and has a six-speed manual transmission. It could reach 60mph in only under three seconds and has been known to have an impressive top speed of 270mph, reported Motor Trend.

It likewise has a modified Lotus Elise chassis and was sold with a glacier blue with two thin white stripes down the middle. That model, however, had been announced purchased. In fact, the model had only been created 12 times within the six-year production run. Therefore, if car enthusiasts hoped to get one for themselves, they would have to purchase second-hand models.

The franchise had been produced in a limited fashion since its release to the auto market but since hypercars and supercars had entered the economy, the American maker had lesser time to adapt and improve its model. Thus, the maker has declared that the $1.2 million Hennessey Venom GT Final Edition would be the last of its kind to be built.
