We’ve seen the Hennessey Venom GT driving around in Britain near Silverstone and today we get to see the base 725-hp go through some chassis dyno testing. According to Hennessey’s results, the base Venom GT will make 633-hp rear-wheel-horsepower and 641 lb-ft of rear-wheel-torque.

We can’t wait to see the 1,000-hp and the 1,200-hp twin-turbo V8 go under dyno testing.
