The Chiron-Shaming 1600bhp Hennessey Venom F5 Promises 300mph
Claiming your incoming hypercar will do 300mph is quite a declaration, but that’s just one of several crazy figures Hennessey has put out there regarding the ‘Venom F5’. We’re talking 1600bhp. 0-186mph in under 10 seconds. And finally, 0-249-0mph in under 30 seconds.
Yep, Hennessey has jumped on the ‘0-400-0’ bandwagon, with a car that’ll supposedly beat the Koenigsegg Agera RS - the current record holder - by at least six seconds. How will the Texan firm do this? That’s the thing - we don’t really know yet.
The 7.4-litre, twin-turbo V8 engine is still under development, and other than the fact it’s GM LS based, not much has been revealed about it yet. A 1338kg kerb weight is made possible by a carbonfibre body, and there’ll be some kind of active aerodynamics package.
Other than that, it’s a bit of a mystery at this stage. Given the extraordinary claims being made along with the lack of detail, the F5 does have a hint of vapourware about it, but then again, Hennessey does have previous in the field of stupidly fast, low-volume hypercars, in the form of the Venom GT.
Oh, there is just one more detail, and it concerns the price: each of the 24 F5s planned for production will cost $1.6 million.

America. Home of apple pie, baseball, the big apple, and some weird lads
More powerful Chiron is on its way
It all depends if its a one trick car. its all well and good saying it can reach 300mph which with out some very reinforced tyres is going to be hard work. But if it has no comfort no toys inside cant get over a speed bump or even have aircon its not in the same class as the chiron or agera who can do all all of those as well as go fast.
This is a good point!
how much is it in KPH?
483
YEEESSS
IT’S FINALLY HEEERE
Lets see, it sounds a bit of bullshit, but im open let’s see if its even drivable
HOLY *. 482 km/h. I think I’m in love with Henessey(not that one ) now
They’ll probably ripoff their customers like they did with the performance packs, doubt a lot of people will buy this.
