The Legendary Venom GT Returns | A look Inside John Hennessey’s Car Collection

The legend has returned. In this special episode, John Hennessey opens the doors to his personal car collection to showcase one of the most iconic hypercars ever built, the Venom GT. Handcrafted in Texas and powered by a twin-turbocharged 7.0-liter V8, the Venom GT was the car that redefined what was possible for American performance. Producing over 1,200 horsepower and weighing just 2,700 pounds, it stunned the world with its mind-bending speed and raw engineering purity; ultimately achieving a top speed of 270.49 mph, making it one of the fastest cars on Earth. Now, one of the original 13 Venom GTs has returned home to Hennessey Special Vehicles, marking a powerful full-circle moment for the company as it approaches its 35th anniversary. In this video, John reflects on the creation of the Venom GT, what it represents for the Hennessey legacy, and how it paved the way for the Venom F5, the brand’s next chapter in the pursuit of speed and innovation. Watch until the end for an up-close look at the car that started it all — the American-built hypercar that challenged the world’s best and made history.
