Leave a comment

American company Hennessey, known for some of the best upgrades to sports and muscle cars, believes that cars with combustion engines have a future. They demonstrated this with their latest project, the F5 Evolution.

The F5 Evolution is officially the most powerful car with a combustion engine, and is based on the Venom F5 ultra-sports model. The car was created in collaboration with the company Ilmor and is powered by a centrally located 6.6-L twin-turbo V8 engine “Fury” with 2,031 hp and 1,959 Nm of torque. The top speed is unknown, but the company announced that this carbon two-seater reaches 322 km/h in just 10.3 seconds.

The car is equipped with redesigned body components optimized by renowned aerodynamicist Dr. Mark Handford, a refined adaptive suspension that adapts to each of the six modes (Sport, Road, Race, Drag, Wet and F1). Buyers can also choose the optional Touring package that brings carbon cup holders, more upholstery on the carbon seats and less noise.

Speaking of price, Venom F5 owners will pay $285,000 to upgrade their car to the F5 Evolution.

Hennessey Super Venom based on the Mustang Dark Horse

American company Hennessey Performance has unveiled its latest Super Venom project. It is an upgrade package for the Ford Mustang Dark Horse and Mustang GT. Only 91 units will be produced.

This project is somewhat different from those that Hennessey has presented so far. The Super Venom is equipped with the VenomAero equipment kit made of carbon fiber, which includes a front splitter, a ventilation opening on the hood, functional openings on the front fenders, sports sills, mirror housings, a new trunk lid with an integrated spoiler and a fixed rear wing. The handling and grip have been upgraded, so now drivers can count on greater safety on the road or track at high speeds. Customers can choose between three liveries in black, silver and red.

The interior has not been changed much. There are leather and Alcantara seats with embossed backrests, floor mats, as well as a numbered plaque on the dashboard.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Super Venom is powered by a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine with 862 hp and 880 Nm of torque. This is a 70% increase in power compared to the Dark Horse, which was achieved thanks to improved injectors, a new engine management system, a high-performance supercharger, a high-flow air intake system and a new fuel pump. This allows the car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.2 seconds.

Speaking of price, the Mustang GT-based Super Venom costs $149,950, while the upgraded Dark Horse is slightly more expensive at $163,950.

Hennessey Venom 800 based on the Ford F-150

The Venom 800 is a new car from the American hypercar manufacturer and high-performance vehicle creator, Hennessey, based on the Ford F-150 but with more power.

The car is powered by a 5.0-L V8 engine with 800 hp (588 kW) and 757 lb-ft (1,026 Nm) of torque, a big increase in power over the standard F-150 with 400 hp (294 kW) and 410 lb-ft (560 Nm) of torque. The increase was achieved thanks to the installation of a compressor, improvement of the air-to-water intercooler, a high-performance fuel injection system and a new high-flow intake system. The result is an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, which is significantly better than the Ram 1500 TRX and the F-150 Raptor R.

Hennessey equipped the Venom 800 with branded front and rear bumpers to provide maximum protection in the toughest off-road conditions, electronic fold-out steps, LED off-road lights on the front bumper, BDX suspension with Fox shock absorbers that raise the vehicle by an additional 152 mm, with a carbon fiber front grille, massive 6 piston Brembo performance brakes for optimum performance, and 20-inch rims with 35-inch off-road tires for exceptional performance and reliability.

The interior is also slightly changed, with new items including quilted headrests, all-weather floor mats, American flag inserts and serial number plates.

Only 250 cars will be produced, and the price has not been announced.
