    Their own pick up and suv would be super cool. To see how they'd design both, what platforms they'd use, motors, supercharged or turbo, wheel break and suspension set up etc .. off road and on road versions or a multi use version? With how awesome the venom f5 looks, sounds and performs and how popular high horsepower performance based suvs and pick ups are now N keep getting more it'd be really cool to see a company like Hennessey make a "hyper suv or hyper truck"
