Billionaire Toys – Hennessey Venom GT

hennessey venom gt 3We are changing things up a bit in our lets talk cars segment. In this post, I will be talking billionaire toys. Well, technically it could also be millionaire toys but for the sake of being gaudy we will stick to billionaire toys. In todays billionaire toys, we have the Hennessey Venom GT. This magnificent beauty is the brainchild of Sealy, Texas based Hennessey Performance.

Priced at $1.2 Million dollars, the company plans to build a total of 29 cars in all. As of last year only 11 cars have been sold worldwide and only 5 are known to be in the United States. FYI: If you are an owner, I don’t mind a test drive. winks

The Hennessey Venom GT set a Guinness World Book record time of 0 to 186 miles per hour in just 14 seconds.
