Hennessey Venom F5 in all its power

Hennessey Performance posted a short video on its YouTube channel from the track where it tests the high-speed stability and vehicle dynamics of the Venom F5. The video shows John Hennessey and one of his team members driving in an Audi as they watch the Venom F5 unleash all its power.

In “F5 Mode” Venom unlocked its full power, using 1,817 hp (1,355 kW) it reached a speed of 250 mph (400 km / h). Hennessey confirmed that vehicle stability was tested at this speed.

This is another step towards the goal of this hypercar to reach a speed of 300 mph (483 km / h), or over 310 mph (500 km / h).

The Venom F5 is powered by a 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 1,817 hp (1,355 kW) and 1,193 lb-ft (1,617 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 7-speed single-clutch automated manual transmission. Although it weighs 3,053 lb (1,385 kg), it reaches 62 mph in 2.6 seconds, 124 mph (200 kph) in 4.7 seconds, 186 mph (300 kph) in 8.4 seconds and 248 mph (400 kph) in 15.5 seconds.

The comeback of the Nissan Silvia as EV

According to Japanese media reports, Nissan is preparing a comeback of the legendary model Silvia, but as an electric car. The whole plan was developed based on the design of the electric Silvia, done by Matthew Weaver.

“The Silvia was ahead of its time, in a very quiet, understated way. It has aged very well and would still have its place on the roads today. It’s also a great example of what is expected of a global product: high quality and universally appealing, “said Matthew Weaver, Vice President of Nissan Design in Europe.

The design was inspired by a first-generation model that made its debut at the 1964 Tokyo Motor Show. At first glance, the line separating the upper and lower body, as well as the simple design of the headlights and taillights, is a feature of the 1964 model.

So far, there are no details about the Silvia EV project, whose arrival can be expected in 2025.
