Hennessey Venom GT

The Hennessey Venom GT reaches 60 mph in 2.54 s (100 km/h in 2.64 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 9.71 s, tripping the lights at 164.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.70 s and the eighth mile in 6.59 s, reaching 100 mph in 5.33 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Venom GT

The 2010 Hennessey Venom GT is a rear-drive turbocharged supercar of 1,220 kg with 1,200 bhp, which works out at 984 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 984 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.70 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 95th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest one per cent of the set. Its 164.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 10 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Hennessey Venom GT 0-60 time?
The Hennessey Venom GT reaches 60 mph in 2.54 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 95th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Hennessey Venom GT quarter mile time?
9.71 s at 164.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 6.59 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.70 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Hennessey Venom GT have?
1,200 bhp and 1,220 kg, which is 984 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 435 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Hennessey Venom GT?
Closest here on pace: Koenigsegg One:1 (2.65 s), 9ff GT9 Vmax (2.64 s), Koenigsegg Regera (2.56 s). Each one can be raced against the Hennessey Venom GT in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Hennessey Venom GT is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 10 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
