Hennessey Special Vehicles has unveiled the much-anticipated all-new Venom F5 hypercar at the 2017 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, NV. John Hennessey of Hennessey Special Vehicles took the wraps off the Venom F5 co-engineered with Shell, Pennzoil and therefore the hypercar is set to break records. The hypercar is designed & built from the ground up with one goal in mind: it was absolutely fastest road car on earth.
Hennessey and team have developed a totally new design, chassis and carbon fiber body targeted on aerodynamics to realize the lowest possible drag. The new F5 design features active aero which will yield a coefficient of drag of simply 0.33.
“We’ve designed F5 to be timeless so in twenty-five years it'll still have a level of performance and design which will be unmatched,” said John Hennessey, company Founder, and chief executive officer. “We all expect the fastest Venom F5, for the most powerful tornado speed winds on the Fujita scale, to be the 1st road car capable of achieving over 300 mph and have worked closely with Pennzoil to get us across the finishing line.”
The Hennessey Venom V5 has a twin turbo V8 engine which will deliver over 1600 bhp. and the engine is mated to a 7-speed single clutch paddle shift transmission and also the delivering power down to the rear tyres.
Acceleration from 0 to 186mph (300 km/h) is less than 10 sec making the new Hennessey Venom V5 faster than current Formula 1 race cars. 0 to 249 mph (400 km/h) less than 30sec. the top speed of the Venom F5 is projected to exceed 300 mph.
The base price for the Venom F5 is $1.6 million us dollars. the corporate plans to make 24 road cars.
