Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler just took delivery of the world's fastest convertible, The Hennessey Venom GT Spyder. The Venom is based on the Lotus elise but it has been stretched and widened to accept a 7 litre twin turbo V8 with 1244bhp!
"Steven came to us last year and asked if we could build his Venom GT as a roadster," says John Hennessey. "We had to make a few structural changes to our integrated rollcage in order to be able to fit the removable top. This increased the weight of our vehicle by about 30 lbs to a curb weight of 2743 lbs (1244 kilograms). We decided to increase the Venom GTs power to 1244 bhp to maintain our 1 horsepower per 1 kilogram power to weight ratio."
The best thing about this story though is the discussion that has developed on Jalopnik, which has descended into a debate on Tylers questionable sandal & sock combination and the possible reasons for this lifestyle choice. Whether it's because he has 'stinkfoot' was a personal favorite!
