The Viper Venom 1000 is one of Hennessey Performance Engineering's most spectacular creations. The new Venom 1000 is a Dodge Viper SRT 10 Coupe modified to get twice the power of the standard version and achieve superior performance than any Ferrari .

With a limited production of 24 in 2006, Hennessey offers a fully modified vehicle for maximum sporting performance. The Viper Venom 1000 features an extreme version of the original Dodge Viper V10 engine. To compensate for the power increase from 500 to 1,000 hp, the car chassis was specially adapted. The extra equipment includes suspensions with multi-point adjustable system.

The V10 of 8.554 cm3 displacement adopted two twin Garret turbos with pressure of 15 psi. With adjustments to the sequential electronic injection system and a compression radius of 9 to 1, the Venom 1000 engine develops a power of 1,000 hp at 5,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 1,491 Nm at 3,800 rpm.

The Viper Venom 1000 is well equipped enough to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 410 km/h. Even the previous Viper Venom convertible had already defeated the Saleen S7 biturbo in acceleration and one-mile ride tests. arrested.

With larger tires, Brembo 356-mm diameter ventilated brake discs and a new exhaust system, the Venom is not just an engine development. The aerodynamics of the car were also optimized. From its outward appearance this is reflected only in the front. All this combined engineering and handicraft work in production can be achieved at a price of $225,000.
