Interesting looking but putting 1200hp on a car that light has to be white knuckle performance.

 

[Mullet]

that car is going to be all kinds of awesomeness.

 

[Empty Pockets]

Oh, YEAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!:banana:banana:banana


I'd forgotten this was in the works! :banana

 

[S592R]

ok you got my attention.

btw. 420hp in a lotus is an "E" ticket ride. 1200hp is going to be one of two things. A Saturn V level of thrust ... or an uncontrollable drive to the gates of :devil

 

[HUBBSTER]

The Elise chassis is designed for under 300hp and its GLUED together

What chassis mods has Henessey done apart from increasing the wheelbase ?

I dont think I'd get in that thing

Get your life insurance paid up :biggrin

Oh it's badass all right but don't forget the price tag and the fact that they will not be available in the US markets.

Chassis was built especially for this project. This is NOT something Hennessey just threw together. Do some more research and you will find the answers to your question.... :thumbsup

I thought I read that somewhere but I can't find it now. I haven't followed the car to closely tho... to much scratch for me. A high roller like you should have two in the garage, one for you and one for your friends :biggrin

Shelby,

In this tough economy, you need to stick to the low budget Bugattis and Carrera GTs that you've been selling. :lol

Yep. I will stick with those cheap turds :biggrin

 

[ObeyMyFast!]

Have you sold that blue/black Veyron? That looked nice :thumbsup

(dont worry, I'll let you keep it :rofl)

 

[Hennessey Performance]

You guys wont believe it until you can see it in detail in person. I spent the day looking at it all and I am still amazed.

 

[Hennessey Performance]

2400 lbs + 1000 rw hp on pump gas + 1500 lbs downforce at 150 mph + carbon fiber body + carbon fiber wheels + carbon ceramic brakes + Ricardo (FGT) transmission ..... and the list goes on.

Our test mule with 530 rw hp does 0-60 in 2.9, 0-100 in 6.4 on street tires with 36 psi pressure. And it is as easy and nimble to drive as a stock Lotus. Cornering speeds on PS2's are as good or better than a Viper comp coupe or ACR on race tires.

Oh Ya!
