It is a fast car, very damn fast!
But...rumors are that it has kit car build quality. Which is not a deal breaker by itself.
But...the Mclaren P1 and the Hennessy Venom cost within $150K of one another. At that level, that is close enough to be equal. Is it anywhere near the value of the McClaren, Porsche 918, etc...?

Hell no. Saying the Venom GT is kit car quality is being generous.

Agreed. Hennessy is a "fly-by-night" company compared to legends like McLaren, Porsche, etc...
I'd rather sport a Koenigsegg CCXR or Agera above any of the latter though if I was up for spending that kind of money.

Not a rumor at all. At least from the pics. Structurally, it looks pretty good. Interior wise... well you be the judge lol.

Given Hennessey's spotted track record most of the interior pieces are probably from another customer's car that he hasn't finished yet.

This too!
Maybe he has changed his business tactics but he was well know for his lack of scruples in the 90's.

ROFL, that's sad but, funny.
I would think that those days are over since he still manages to get new clientele.
