Huayra Monkey
Be honest, would you rather spend $1.4 M on this rolling sculpture built in gorgeous factory in Emilia-Romagna or $1 M on a re-bodied Elise with a pushrod engine built in a shady Texas garage?
Surprised Harris can't think of another 730HP two wheel drive car though. Really? He could probably see one from where he filmed this clip!

Love the snark: "shady Texas garage."
ReplyDeleteFar from shady here in Texas right now. But I do get what you mean considering Hennessey's past track record in the Venom hay-days.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather build a Factory 5 GTM and then build my LSX engine up for that vehicle. 1200 whp LSX powered cars aren't impossible to come by now. I could take the money I saved and spend it on...Hell, anything including a slew of other supercars or maybe a Singer Porsche or two or three...
If I had the cash to spend, a Huayra would be at the top of the list.
There were a couple of guys named Jim Hall and Hap Sharp that built some pretty decent cars in a shady, Texas garage. Maybe you've heard of them.

Don't forget Carroll Shelby... yeah, they were a whole other kind.
