Hennessey's 1,200-horsepower Venom GT is perhaps one of the most impressive American hotrods built on a British basis in the last half-century.

Jay Leno, being the car fanatic and TV personality he is, has had special access to the Venom GT. His second go-round (catch the first one here) with the little beast earlier this week shows the car not in prototype form, but in...
