HPE says that the horsepower and torque were increased due to the ability to run E85 Flexfuel which allows its 7.0L twin turbo V-8 engine to increase boost pressure from 19 psi to 26 psi. Putting the power onto the ground are the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. This also happens with the help of GPS-based traction control system. Combined with a curb weight of just 2743 lbs (1244 kg) the Venom GT continues to offer an unmatched power to weight ratio.
