idea for top builders-hennessey venom

[z3_2drive]

I don't think anyone has tried it, and I don't think I have the skills to build this, but, has anyone thought of building one of my favorite cars, the Venom GT ? If anyone doesnt know what i'm talking about, its the amazing car that accelerate faster than a veyron, and looks better in my opinion. Pics:

<--spyder version

1244 hp!!! and is very light-video-

It is pretty awesome! Is it in production yet?

Anyhow, on topic;

I imagine the relatively small size and intricate curvature of the general Venom GT/Lotus Elise/Exige will be a challenge to replicate accurately..?

Still, would love to see this made in Lego!

EDIT

Maybe a challenge for Crowkillers, Sariel or some other high-skill car builder ?

I think there is only a handful of these cars in the world, and yes, the curvature would be hard to replicate, but just look at Sariel's Zonda! he got the curves perfect, no need for panels. That's why I made this topic, to hopefully see this get made in technic form one day

I think it is just a muscled, very very muscled old car, a lotus elise, if nobody built it before... In my opinion it has the same problem as Ford GT and Mclaren F1 too much diference between rear and front wheels, they never would look as I would like, but there are a lot of great builders around here.

On MOCpages, Rolling bricks recently posted his Lego Hennessey Venom (although not with Technic elements):

funny, I just saw that as I was scouting the web to make sure nobody made it yet in TECHNIC, but his model looks nice too, especially in that scale

Great looking car! It looks like a Lotus Exige that has been stretched.

[Lipko]

You don't think you have the skill to build this? I think you should challenge your skills to find out! Now go and build.

The venom is total awesome. Is it as fast as the Agera?

If you were gonna represent these cars in technic you would need a variety of panels to capture that look.

[legomuppet9]

Top Gear need to do a speed test of that Agera Anyway in my view this is just a stretched Lotus with a big engine. But if you like it, you can build it, challenge yourself

although I prefer its European rivals....

Characteristics are excellent, but the body from Lotus does not look very nice.

[z3_2drive]

maybe, but I would need blueprints, and there really aren't any, maybe i'll try to find... and would need various flex axle lengths, and I have 0 experience building supercars and it has a 'theoretical' top speed of 272mph! in this video, it gets to 230 mph in just 19 seconds!!!!!(370kph) -

Personally I would love to see the Sheby Cobra shown at the beginning of the video.

[SNIPE]

it looks like an ascari so maybe looking at ascari mocs might help give building ideas.

well my friend, it has been done before

by Tyler Reid- his cobra on MocPages- http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/135724

Tyler Reid for me one of the greatest car builders, awesome with the soft axles, hopefully continue making cars his audi R8 is amazing.

[Meatman]

Does Tyler Reid still build cars? I found his work at crowkiller's website, but there doesn't appear to be anything new from him in some time.

Hmmm. Not really a big fan of this car. An Elise/Exige should be light, with a small engine, and fun to drive. This MONSTER isn't fun, but impossible to drive! It has like 1000hp on the rear wheels, which means wheelspin in the first 3 gears!

I built an Elise before, and I'm currently trying to make an Evora (Steering, 6-speed gearbox, suspension. RWD, transverse V6, technic body, no backseat, only 20 studs wide and a wheelbase of 28 studs, full RC - estimated time of completion: late summer or autumn next year)
