Venom GT to Make Monterey Debut



MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA – Hennessey Performance (HPE) will unveil the company's
1,200 HP, ultra-lightweight Venom GT supercar on Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at
the McCall's Motorworks Revival. Held each year at the Monterey Jet Center, Gordon
McCall's party kicks-off the Monterey / Pebble Beach weekend.

Fresh from its European debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Hennessey
Venom GT will be making its first appearance at Monterey. "We are very excited to
have the opportunity to show the Venom GT to our friends and fellow enthusiasts at
what has become one of the biggest and best car enthusiast events in the world,"
says CEO, Don Goldman. "Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival combines serious car
enthusiasts, world-class cars and aircraft, all in one fantastic party."

The bright "bug-killer" yellow Venom GT will also be on display at the RM Auction at
the Portolla Plaza hotel in downtown Monterey from Thursday, August 18 through
Saturday, August 20.

Hennessey builds just five Venom GTs per year, making it one of the most
exclusive supercars currently built. Available in both left-hand and right-hand drive
configurations, the Venom GT costs $950,000 US Dollars, plus optional upgrades
and shipping. Each vehicle is hand-built over a period of six months by a small team
of craftsmen at the company's facilities in Sealy, Texas, Lake Forest, California and
Silverstone, England.

"Twelve hundred horsepower combined with in a mid-engine chassis that weighs
twelve hundred kilos (2,685 lbs) - no other road car and only a handful of race cars
can match the power to weight ratio of the Venom GT," added HPE president and
founder, John Hennessey. "It is a driver's car, a supercar with a soul that will give
you as much speed and performance as you dare ask of it".
