No, you are not looking at a new Lotus supercar – this is the Hennessey Venom GT.
The car has been penned by British car designer Steve Everitt and will have a Veyron-matching 1000 bhp, but does look rather familiar.
It is a concept at present but would be fitted with Hennessy’s snappily-titled Venom 1000 Twin Turbo Viper V10 engine, and 0-60 mph is expected to take just 2.5 seconds.
The car should hit 180 mph in around 14 seconds.
The concept sketch has an uncanny likeness of the Lotus Exige/Elise, with a bit of old Elise GT1 thrown in for good measure.
Company founder, John Hennessey, said the car should weigh less than 1,225kgs and points out it is not being built as a 'Veyron Slayer'.
Mr Hennessey said: 'The Veyron is an ultra fast and ultra luxurious grand touring car which also happens to be quicker and faster than any other road car, except for our Venom 1000 Twin Turbo SRT which beat the Veyron earlier this year from 0-200 mph.
'The Venom GT will be a much more engaging sports car to drive by challenging the driver with 1000+ HP in a chassis that is nearly 1500 lbs lighter than the Veyron.
'The company already has existing Venom 1000 Twin Turbo clients interested in ordering the lighter, mid-engined Venom GT.'
Hennessey is currently looking at building two concept cars that could be shown to the public sometime in 2009.
‘If there is enough demand we may consider doing a very limited production run of the Venom GT,’ Mr Hennessey added.
