Design
The chassis of the Venom GT is a significantly altered Lotus Elise/Exige. Even though the manufacturer is not connected to Lotus Cars, the Venom GT nevertheless has a lot of Elise parts, such as the headlamps, wipers, HVAC system, floorpan, cockpit, doors, and side glass. The vehicle is not a series production vehicle and is registered as a modified Lotus Exige for use on public roads.
The Venom GT's carbon fiber bodywork and wheels help it weigh only 1,244 kg at curb. Brembo 6-piston front and 4-piston rear brake calipers are fitted to the vehicle. Surface Transforms supplied the 15-inch (380 mm) carbon ceramic rotors.
