Faster than a Nevera and faster than a Chiron, says Hennessey - with more to come, too
Hennessey has timed a Venom F5 Coupe at 221.92mph in a standing half-mile acceleration test, with that number recorded by VBOX telemetry. Not much more to say, really, is there? Ludicrously fast car has gone faster than anyone really expected - a YouTube drag race recently got a Nevera to 206.77mph and a Chiron to 193.67mph over the same distance. So it’s not even close.
Arguably we’ve all become a bit blasé about numbers of late, but the most recent ones of the 1,842hp Venom F5 really are extraordinary. On an unprepped, dusty surface with temperature around 30 degrees, it did a quarter mile in 9.8 seconds at 169mph, and the half-mile in 14.44 seconds. It’s bonkers. The data showed that 100mph-200mph was covered in 6.81 seconds,showing a car that just seems to accelerate faster and faster despite the ever-increasing speed.
John Hennessey drove the Venom F5 on this run and said of the car: “This was my first opportunity to pilot our Venom F5 beyond 200 mph while testing. I did not intend to go so fast, but I was not surprised as our hypercar’s power and acceleration cannot be described in words… I’m not aware of any other production car going that speed. We will go back to NASA later this year when it's cooler as I expect F5 to be even faster.
Which ought to be something to look forward to. All Coupe and F5 Revolution Roadsters are sold out, with Hennessey busy building cars into ‘25, but there are ‘standard’ F5 Roadster or Revolution Coupes available to order. One way to stand out at the supercar meet…
