Neiman Marcus To Offer Hennessey Venom 700NM
DALLAS — A new limited edition of the Viper-based Hennessey Venom, the 700NM, will be offered this spring in the Neiman-Marcus Men’s Catalog, priced at $179,500.
The Venom 700NM won’t be quite the pavement ripper that its sibling, the Venom 1000 Twin Turbo, is. Based on the Venom 650R, the 700NM will pack 700 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque, enabling a 0-60-mph time of 3.3 seconds.
The 700NM will be formally unveiled at the 2008 New York Auto Show, with sales to begin April 10. Hennessey will build only seven copies. The price includes one day of performance driving school at Lonestar Motorsports Park.
What this means to you: When we think of Neiman Marcus teaming with Hennessey, we’re more inclined to think of cognac than venom. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent
