Hennessey Venom F5 to Beat GT to Become the Fastest Car in the World

When we talk about supercars, Hennessey tops the chart. The company excels in transforming a standard sports car into a ravishing supercar, and the best part is, it makes every contribution look simply effortless. The automaker does the same with the new Venom F5, the precursor to the all-famous Venom GT. Let’s go through a quick preview of the remarkable ride.

Powertrain and Performance

The Venom F5 is positively on its way to surpass the reigning champion in terms of speed, the Venom GT, with its outperforming one-of-a-kind powertrain. The supercar encloses a massively powerful V8 engine with a 7.0 liter displacement and record-breaking 1400 horsepower. The man behind the engineering, Mr. Hennessey claims the Venom F5 to reach a top speed of 290 miles per hour that translates into 466 km/h to give you a better picture of the supercar’s potentials, which is more than just a figure if you know a thing or two about the regular supercar top speeds. Empowering the engine’s working is a rear-wheel drive suspension and the latest single-clutch paddle shift transmission with highly responsive shift capabilities. The Venom F5 quotes a lesser drag coefficient – 0.40 – than that of the original Venom holding the top speed record of 270.9 mph. The F5 will have the power to sprint from zero to 60 in a mind boggling 2.5 seconds.

Design of the Venom F5

This car is not the fastest supercar merely because of the engine specs, it does comprise a design and body structure that compliment Hennessey’s intentions to achieve perfection. The Venom F5’s body has been carved out of lightweight carbon-fiber that helped keeping the weight under 2,866 pounds ( 1,300kg). A rear diffuser and a retractable rear wing add to the design of the F5, integrating with underbody venturis to develop a considerable level of down-force to keep the Venom firmly placed on the ground even at the highest speeds.
