A Thrilling Victory: Venom F5 Shatters Records, Surpassing McLaren P1 by 7 Seconds!
Attention, Racing Enthusiasts! Brace yourselves for the remarkable news fresh off the tracks: Hennessey’s track-focused beast, the Venom F5 ‘Revolution’, has taken the 3.41-mile Circuit of the Americas (COTA) by storm, clocking in an unbelievable 2 minutes and 10.9 seconds. That’s not all—it leaves the former champion, the Czinger 21C, trailing by nearly half a second and leaves the McLaren P1 gasping with an astounding seven-second gap!
Picture this: the Revolution, tipping the scales at approximately 1,360kg, boasts some serious aero upgrades compared to its ‘standard’ sibling, the Venom F5. You can’t miss the imposing carbon rear wing, revamped front splitter, and rear diffuser. Adding to its prowess, dive planes have been skillfully integrated to amp up grip, while a centrally-placed scoop on the roof ensures the engine gets a hearty dose of cool, refreshing air.
But wait, what about the heart of this powerhouse? No major alterations have been made to the 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V8, lovingly dubbed ‘Fury’. Frankly, there was no need, as the stock 1,817bhp and 1,193lb ft of torque were more than enough to propel the Revolution to a jaw-dropping 193mph along COTA’s main stretch. Hold onto your hats!
For those craving some technical tidbits, here’s a treat: Hennessey proudly declares that the Revolution achieved an impressive 1.59G in the corners and a formidable -1.61 under braking, thanks to the road-hungry Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires and the trusty carbon ceramic Brembo brakes. Now, that’s some serious performance!
In the words of John Hennessey, the visionary behind it all: “We don’t do these things because they are easy, we do them because they are hard. The process of pushing our American hypercar to the limits makes our team of engineers, designers and technicians better while also delivering an enhanced product and experience to our clients. We look forward to continuing the journey and pushing the Venom F5 to set new speed records in the future.”
Hold onto your seats, thrill-seekers! As if this triumph wasn’t exhilarating enough, Hennessey is now gunning for the ultimate challenge: proving its claim of hitting 300mph. The adrenaline is palpable… Let the race begin!
