Hennessey Venom F5: the giant-killer arrives with 1600 CV of pure power

The world of hypercars continues to amaze us, as manufacturers create vehicles with unimaginable performance. Not long ago, the Apollo Intensa Emozione made its impressive debut , and now it is Hennessey’s turn, a company whose goal is to dethrone any sports car that crosses its path. This is demonstrated with the new Hennessey Venom F5.

The American firm claims that with this new creation they have managed to develop the fastest vehicle in the world. The Hennessey Venom F5 goes further and aims to surpass hypercars of the calibre of the Bugatti Chiron and Koenigsegg Agera RS. It would not surprise us if this were to happen, given the performance it claims.

The Venom F5 features a twin-turbo V8 heart that produces 1600 CV, ready to be delivered directly to the rear axle. At the same time, we find a seven-speed automatic gearbox with a single clutch. Without a doubt, Hennessey has sought with this vehicle to be as faithful as possible to the supercars of yesteryear, and they fulfil that with flying colours.

The brand claims that its new Hennessey will reach 400 km/h in less than 30 seconds, and the 300 km/h mark will be passed in under 10 seconds. Simply impressive. It is no surprise that the F5 reaches such high speeds in so little time, given that it declares a weight of just 1338 kg. The combination of these figures results in a top speed very close to 500 km/h.

To keep the hypercar planted on the road when reaching such speeds, it features a majestic aerodynamic design. Hennessey’s engineers have worked hard to develop a chassis and suspension that are as precise as possible, so that the F5 performs to the limit of its capabilities.

Carbon fibre is present in practically all of the vehicle’s components, so that the weight of the Venom F5 is considerably reduced. But the exclusivity of the new hypercar is reflected not only in its performance, but also in its production.

The Hennessey Venom F5 will be limited to just 24 units, making it one of the most special vehicles in the world. The price of each unit starts at 1.6 million dollars, a figure that places it within the range of vehicles of the same calibre. Without a doubt, the new Hennessey has every chance of being the fastest production car in the world, and this puts its main competitors in a tight spot.
