The new Hennessey Venom F5 Evolution doesn't go fast. It flies low from 0 to 321 km/h in just 10 seconds.
Fasten your seatbelt. Because the Hennessey Venom F5 Evolution goes from 0 to 321 km/h in just 10.3 seconds.
At least that's what the American car brand claims. The insane acceleration is primarily due to the low weight and of course the 6.6-liter V8 engine with twin turbos.
There are no batteries here. Other than the 12-volt starter battery that should be there. No heavy battery packs here – please.
On the other hand, it's no wonder the car has been nicknamed the Fury. According to Hennessey, the turbos on the new Evo are the largest ever fitted to a road car.
And if you fill the tank with E85 fuel, there are a whopping 2,031 horsepower and 1,995 newton meters to be had under your right foot.
Wilder than Bugatti and with no top speed
The Americans have not announced an official top speed. But for comparison, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport has a top speed of 482 km/h. However, it takes a 'whole' 14.8 seconds to reach from 0 to 321 km/h.
To keep up with the horsepower – and to make sure the car doesn't tear itself apart – Hennessey has given the Venom F5 Evolution a new adaptive suspension. But that kind of thing comes at a price.
So not the chassis itself but the entire Evolution package. Because it is actually an upgrade for already existing cars. Are you ready?
The entire package costs $285,000, which is just under 1.9 million Danish kroner. On the other hand, the Venom F5 already costs from 13.3 million Danish kroner.
The bad news? All cars are sold out. In fact, it's been that way since 2021.
Another perhaps overlooked thing is that the Venom is the only car you can get today without airbags. And that's in a car that already has 1,842 horsepower from a 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V8.
We won't go into how exactly Hennessey has managed to circumvent this safety requirement here.
But one of the conditions is that the owners – at least in the US – must sign a declaration that they will only drive 2,500 miles – or just over 4,000 kilometers – in their cars per year.
