The Venom GT Spyder will be powered by the same Chevrolet sourced V8
engine found in the Coupe with an output of 1,200 HP at 6,500 rpm and
1,155 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. Because of the added weight from the
removable roof, performance numbers should be a tad bit slower than the
Coupe, which sprints from 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds and to 200 mph in
15.9 seconds, on its way up to a top speed of 275 mph. The engine will
more than likely send its power to the rear wheels via a Ricardo 6-speed
gearbox and handling will be facilitated by a KW variant
three-adjustable coilover suspension.

As far as its design goes, the Venom GT Spyder will start off with the
Lotus Elise base and will follow along the same extreme design lines as
its Coupe sibling. We imagine it will also feature the same active aero
system with adjustable rear wing that will deploy under varying
conditions on both the road and racetrack.
