Recently, Ive started working for a friend, lets call him (Mark) who has a wide collection of exotic cars, private jets, houses, and boats for rent. A few days ago, I was contacted by a friend of mine who wants to rent out a Hennessy Viper Venom Twin Turbo. (Of which there are only 24 others in the world).
Now, I've done my reasearch on the car, but all the forums are 2 to 3 years old so posting on there can not help me. I am hoping that car lovers can help me with this. The car itself with only 900 hp in 2001 ran for about $225,000. With upgrades, which Mark's Hennessy has, reaching 1400 hp, Its about $250,000, which seemingly so, its cheapier than the Buggatti at $1.7M, The Ferrari Enzo and so on. In fact, Heres a chart comparing Super Car's prices.
# Hennessey Venom Twin Turbo SRT Coupe
# 1000 hp
# Top Speed: 255 mph
# 2006 Production: 24 units
# Cost: $225,000
Bugatti Veyron
# 1001 hp
# Top Speed: 253 mph
# World-wide Production: 300 units
# Cost: $1.7M
Ferrari Enzo
# 660 hp
# Top Speed: 225 mph
# World-wide Production: 349 units
# Cost: $1M
Porsche Carrera GT
# 605 hp
# Top Speed: 205 mph
# World-wide Production: 1200 units
# Cost: $484,000
Mercedes McLaren SLR
# 617 hp
# Top Speed: 208 mph
# World-wide Production: 800 units
# Cost: $570,000
Now, the problem is, Mark doesnt have a 2001, he has a 2006. However, My friend is not looking to buy it, just simply rent it for 3 days.
So I talked to Mark about it, and he said 6k for the 3 days, but my friend must safe deposit by wiring money to his account of 5k before even talking about the car. I know Mark very well, and I know he is completly legit, and his accounts are all deposit safe; However, I'd like to know if 6k for 3 days is a good price for renting out a Hennessy Viper.
What do you all think?
