Why not? They actually did take their time to create and do R&D on that car, even if it's a glorified kit car. No to mention materials, tooling, and everything else needs to produce some of those parts in house and/or third party.

That's why.

For a million dollars there is no excuse for that highschool shop-class interior. I respect the speed and bodywork... but that could have all been done for a fraction of the price. Just sayin.

In my opinion the Venom isn't a very nice car. The one I saw in person was pretty janky. Panels didn't line up very well, paint was subpar, rattled like crazy etc. Hennessey was just charging an insane amount of money based off his reputation and his "record" and frankly, because he could. He still has some very loyal customers who have a lot of money and good standing with the factories cuz he doesn't screw them over. He saves that for his customers who aren't loaded.

I have not seen one in person but, from the pics I have seen I do certainly agree. Everyone that reviews the car like it for it's speed and give it a pass on the shoddy build quality, interior is hot garbage and what not. I do give credit where credit is due and the car is a beast but, definitely not worth a million dollars.

For someone that can afford a car of this price range, I'd go for a Koenigsegg or Zonda(which are not kit cars) all day over this.
