Could The New Hennessey Venom F5 Hypercar Hit 300mph?
By the end of this year, we’ll have been treated to a brand new hypercar from Hennessey, and there’s just one standout figure we can offer right now. The top speed of the Venom F5 will ‘approach’ 300mph – potentially the first road car to achieve it.
Instead of using a stretched, Frankenstein-esque Lotus Exige as a base, Hennessey is creating its own car to take on the Bugatti Chiron for the title of world’s fastest production car.
It’s named not after the refresh button on your computer keyboard, but after the F5 tornado. That’s the most powerful wind on earth, and the fact that F5 wind speeds measure between 261mph and 318mph might hint at what we can look forward to in the next few years.
The Venom F5 is the first car to emerge from Hennessey’s Special Vehicles offshoot, which sits alongside the famous tuning company. The on-site facilities include proving grounds and a quarter-mile dragstrip.
“The best way I can describe the Venom F5,” says John Hennessey, founder and CEO, “is that it is sophisticated aggression on wheels. We look forward to sharing F5 with the world later this year.”
It’s time to get excited.

“Proving grounds” is just another name for a Fast and Furious airstrip isn’t it
Imma just leave these here 😉
YEET

That seems familiar… can’t put my finger on it…
Haha, as soon as I saw the rear of the new Hennessey I thought of that!
Not a coincedence it’s called “Storm”
Lol, Disney might have seen the new Venom F5 first to be able to design Jackson Storm? Maybe?
Kimi be like: bwoah
now we wait for another article stating we already saw the F5 in cars 3
Supra hype + Nfs hype + dis car hype = severe cardiac arrest 😁
300mph = 482 kmh
Thank you
😱 INSANE!
I find it incredible how hennessy have a special vehicle department. For when regular hennessys are too mundane for you
This thing will “F5” Chiron right?
You deserve way more upvotes!
It’s all nice and everything, but can Hennessey make a car as luxurious as the Chiron, or flashy, or even give a warranty for it. Also I hear a lot of bad stories about the company, does anyone know anything about it?
I have read that some customers didnt get their cars on time and some didnt get them at all and employes have said there is some shady buisness going on
Generally speaking, Hennessey does not deliver the goods he promises to his customers. They send him an F-150 Raptor for him to make into a Velociraptor along with some incredibly high amount of cash. He then takes the cash and makes things like the car featured in the article. And that guy who wanted his truck… well, he is likely still waiting. BUT HEY! we have a Venom F5. How cool right!?

They aren’t trying to build a luxurious car and admitted in this video that they don’t have the resources. There is no other hypercar that is even close to the Bugatti in terms of luxury anyway.
Yeah I’ve read lots of articles where people hate him LOL
It probably won’t but it will hit 0-SCREW ME!!! in 2 Seconds
Just hoping it’s RWD like the insane Venom
It’s not the point lol
