The Hennessey Venom F5 Delivers On Its Brutal Near-2,000 HP Promise | Carscoops carscoops
is one of the most monstrous production cars launched in recent memory and after being in development for years, the wild hypercar was recently put through its paces by Top Gear.. As such, it is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V8 that churns out 1,817 hp and 1,193 lb-ft of torque, meaning it has significantly more power than a Bugatti Chiron despite being 8 cylinders short and having two fewer turbochargers. It even has more than the 1,603 hp delivered by the 5.
Hennessey’s claim is that the car needs just 2.6 seconds to hit 62 mph and 4.7 seconds to reach 124 mph . It can also apparently hit 250 mph in an eye-watering 15.5 seconds.When testing out the car for the first time, Top Gear’s Jack Rix is stunned by the acceleration, noting that it pulls through the gears harder than anything else he has driven, except for the all-electric Pininfarina Battista.
Unsurprisingly, the Venom F5 is much more raw and aggressive than most other supercars and hypercars from Europe. It makes a McLaren 720S seem tame and has an especially firm ride. The seven-speed semi-automatic transmission found on the development car driven by Rix will benefit from some additional refinement before the car is complete. It works well at full throttle and high speeds but is a bit jerky at low speeds.
