Hennessey Venom F5 Highlights:
▪ A ‘decathlete’ of road cars, the Venom F5 is engineered to deliver the ultimate exhilarating driving experience
▪ Driving dynamics honed by legendary US racer and vehicle dynamics expert John Heinricy – former Director of GM High Performance Vehicles
▪ Immense power, low weight and carefully honed dynamics deliver extraordinary handling and a visceral experience behind the wheel
▪ Performance follows function. The F5 is an all-new, 100% bespoke Hennessey design
▪ Limited to just 24 ultra-exclusive units worldwide. Base price USD $2.1 million (ex. taxes / shipping)
▪ Celebrates the 30th anniversary of Hennessey (founded in 1991)
▪ ‘F5’ name derived from the Fujita tornado intensity rating scale – F5 is the highest category with wind speeds of up to 512kph (318mph)
▪ Hennessey-engineered 6-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine named ‘Fury’ powers the F5:
- The most powerful production road car engine ever made
- 1,817HP at 8,000rpm / 1,617Nm of torque at 5,000rpm
- Power-to-weight ratio: 1.34HP-per-kg or 1,212HP-per-ton
- Engine power-density: 277HP-per-litre
- Five dynamic vehicle modes (Sport, Wet, Drag, Track, F5) manage power delivery for a variety of driving conditions
▪ An independently verified top speed test is planned for 2021, at the NASA Kennedy Space Center’s 5.2km (3.2-mile) long Shuttle Landing Facility runway in Florida:
- Target speed exceeds 500kph (311mph) with 0-200kph (0-124mph) in just 4.7 seconds
- Testing option to continue speed runs on a closed public highway if the NASA runway is not long enough to allow full performance to be exploited
▪ Hennessey-designed bespoke carbon fibre monocoque weighs just 86kg; all body panels carbon fibre. F5 dry weight is just 1,360kg (2,998lb)
▪ Driver-focused cockpit with F1 / jet fighter inspired steering wheel and controls and luxurious, handcrafted interior - “At 500kph you’re more pilot than driver”
▪ Aerodynamics: carbon fibre splitter, flat underside, large rear diffuser, and subtle rear spoiler deliver 0.39Cd coefficient of drag and ensure the F5 enjoys optimum road holding at lower speeds while remaining stable as velocity increases
▪ Suspension: double wishbone independent suspension with Penske coil over dampers front and rear
▪ Brakes: 390mm x 34mm Brembo carbon ceramic brakes with AP Racing callipers (six-pot front / four-pot rear)
▪ Tyres: Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2. Front – 265 / 35 ZR19 | Rear – 345 / 30 ZR20
