Hennessey Performance Engineering will be featuring
its first 2006 Venom 1000 Twin Turbo Viper SRT10 Coupe at the SEMA show in Las
Vegas. On display will be the 2006 Venom 1000 Coupe, number 01 of 24. With its
black on black color scheme and 20×13 rear wheels it is surely going to be a
highlight of the event.
The Venom 1000 Coupe comes after very successful
convertible version which won Road & Tracks standing mile shootout.
Finishing the distance at 25.6 seconds, the Venom 1000 was 0.3 seconds faster
than the Saleen S7 Twin Turbo.
Like the convertible, the Coupe doubles the stock
horsepower rating of the Viper to bring the figure up to 1000 bhp. To reach
this level of performance, the Venom has been bored, stroked and pressurized to
15psi.
This system includes JE Pistons, Manley Rods and twin Garret Turbos,
custom headers & and a unique exhaust system. Chassis mofications include
Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires, a VenomAero front bumper, KW adjustable suspension,
5-point harnesses, Quaiffe differential upgrade and many more available
options.
Hennessey says that the Venom 1000 Coupe is the
fastest and most powerful limited-edition street car in the world. Only 24 will
be built for the 2006 production year.
