"American Idol" judge & Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is set to take delivery of a $1.1 million roadster.
Tyler will be the first owner of the Hennessey Venom GT Spyder, a 1,200 horsepower monster with a theoretical top speed of 275 mph that's built just outside Houston, Texas.
The two-seat drop-top is based on a Lotus chassis and powered by a Chevy Corvette V8 that's been heavily modified and twin-turbocharged by Hennessey, a company that specializes in boosting engines to ridiculous levels of performance.
The hardtop version of the Venom can reportedly accelerate from 0-200 mph in 15.3 seconds.
Only five Spyders will be built next year, but Tyler's black on black model will be unique. He's ordered a custom JL audio system installed and is having it tuned by Aerosmith's former audio engineer, David Frangioni.
