Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution Coupe Is A $2.7M All-American Track Star | Carscoops carscoops
fast in a straight line – over 300 mph according to the Texas firm – but now it wants to prove it can do corners, too. Meet the Venon F5 Revolution, a lighter, grippier addition to the F5 family.
Unlike some rival circuit-focused supercars, which aren’t homologated for road use, Hennessey says the Revolution has been designed to perform on both road and track. But the extensive aerodynamic mods fitted to improve downforce leave us in no doubt about which of those environments the Revolution will do its best work.
The most visible of those tweaks is a new manually adjustable full-width carbon fiber rear wing that delivers more than 800 lbs of downforce at 249 mph . But it’s far from the only aero modification. The sub-3,000 lbs Revolution also gets a larger front splitter, dive planes and an extended rear diffuser.splitter helps create a low-pressure vortex beneath the floor by preventing air flowing beneath the bumper, again adding to the vertical squish felt by the tires.
There are no changes to the twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter ‘Fury’ V8, which makes the same 1,817 hp it does in other F5 applications and again drives the rear wheels through an automated single-clutch transmission. But on the Revolution that engine is cooled by air drawn in through a roof-mounted snorkel. Stopping comes courtesy of large carbon ceramic brake rotors.
