Steven Tyler's New Car
Apparently, offstage, that includes his taste in cars.
According to Top Gear, Steven Tyler just too delivery of the very first Hennessey Venom GT Spyder. The big-lipped singer got the first of just five cars that will be built this year.
This is one car that is as fast as it looks. The Lotus Exige-based Venom ditches the Toyota engine and has a 1,244 horsepower twin-turbo V8. The car also weighs just 2,743 pounds.
The car can get to 200 MPH in 16 seconds. A Smart car takes 16 seconds to reach 60 MPH.
The price tag for all of this outrageous performance? The Venom Spyder has a starting price tag in the $1.1 million range.
While it hasn't been officially certified yet, Hennessey believes
that this ride could be the fastest car in the world. We're waiting to
see that top speed run happen.
In other breaking news, we also now know that Steven Tyler wears sandals with socks.
Take a look at the car — and the fashion faux pas — below:
It will accelerate to 200mph in 15.9 seconds, eight seconds faster than a Bugatti Veyron.
