Indeed, they are related. Hennessey used modified a Exige chassis (which is much cheaper than developing their own in-house.

Here's what Wikipedia has to say:

"The Venom GT uses a Lotus Exige chassis. The manufacturer, Hennessey Performance Engineering, states the modified chassis uses components from the Lotus Exige, including the roof, doors, side glass, windscreen,cockpit, floorpan, HVAC system, wiper and head lamps. Hennessey Performance and the Venom GT are not associated with Lotus Cars. For road use, the car is registered as a Lotus Exige (modified) and is not a series production car."
