During the 2014 Fuel Run in Monterey, a rally chock-full of rare and super expensive exotics and supercars, one of the participants stood out, not because of glamorous brand or sexy looks, but due to its great accomplishments. It was the actual Hennessey Venom GT that completed the 270.49mph record run a while back.

This, obviously, is a remarkable car and one that is definitely worth a closer look. Hennessey Venom GT does indeed look quite good, even though it is, in essence, an elongated Lotus. Check it out in this brief but awesome video by BrianZuk:
