Steven Tyler owns the fastest car in the world – Entertainment News
The American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has recently bought one of the world’s fastest convertible cars.
His new ride is labelled as the Hennessey Venom GT Spyder, which has the capacity to accelerate up to 200mph in only 15.9 seconds. The Spyder is believed to be eight seconds faster than a Bugatti Veyron, which is another super car in the world.
Speaking of Tyler’s interest about having the fastest car in the world, John Hennessey stated: "Steven came to us last year and asked if we could build his Venom GT as a roadster. We had to make a few structural changes to our integrated rollcage in order
to be able to fit the removable top. This increased the weight of our vehicle by about 30 lbs to a curb weight of 2743 lbs (1244 kilograms). We decided to increase the Venom GTs power to 1244 bhp to maintain our 1 horsepower per 1 kilogram power to weight
ratio."
According to a report, only five of Venom GTs of this kind will be built in 2012 and Tyler’s will be the only one having the convertible type. At a cost of $1.1 million for the Lotus Exige chassis lengthened and braced to make room for a 7.0-liter, twin-turbo
V8, it’s easy to understand why interested clients are few and far between.
When we rode in a prototype a year ago, we described the hand-built supercar as, "the best way to die."
