Open top Hennessey Venom GT Spyder crawls out

Despite being unconvinced about the morality of spending $1.1m (£700,000) on a tarted up Lotus Exige, when it looks like the Hennessey Venom GT Spyder, well...you would, wouldn't you. The extra plastic bits do as good a job at hiding what's underneath as Lady Gaga's extra plastic bits do.

But this new Venom GT has had a significant bit of it removed - the roof. The Spyder will be produced from summer next year (2012), and frighteningly with no reduction in its 1,200bhp output.
