Steven Tyler, “American Idol” judge added to his rewarding year by buying
the world’s fastest street-legal car, a US$1.1 million hand-built convertible
known as The Hennessey Venom GT Spyder. One of only five 2013 models
to be made, Tyler’s is the sole convertible of the batch, and is able to
accelerate to 200 mph in 15.9 seconds.
The musician came to the car’s makers with specific drop-top and motor
requests, and accordingly, the car was custom-made based on the standard
Venom GT prototype.

Tyler’s sleek and angled two-door black roadster can accelerate faster than
any other vehicle, maxing out at 275 mph and beating Bugatti’s Veyron by
8 mph.
Basic versions cost $950,000, but the rock star’s rendition crossed the million
dollar mark due to his removable hardtop roof. Additionally, the car had to be
reformed to meet his request for a 7.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 engine.
