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 Venom F5

In 2017, Hennessey unveiled its ultra-sports model Venom F5. This Texas based company recently delivered the first unit, a $ 2.1 million model, to a customer.

From Hennessey, which is widely known for its tuning projects based on American muscle cars, they claim that the ultra-sports two-seater Venom F5 is the most powerful car in the world that will be able to develop a speed of 311 mph (500 kph).

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 F5 should be Hennessey’s response to competitors Bugatti, Koenigsegg, SSC, etc.

The Venom F5 will be produced in limited numbers, and all 24 units have already been sold. The first unit was delivered to an unnamed customer who had previously accepted a contract under which the car could not travel more than 2,500 miles (4,023 kilometers) per year. The remaining units will be delivered by 2024.
