Hennessey Celebrates Launch of its 10th Venom F5 Hypercar

Posted on

Hennessey plans to build 24 examples of the Venom F5 coupe, and is now nearing halfway through delivering a tenth example. The buyer specified the hypercar in metallic blue with white stripes.

Hennessey plans to increase production in 2023, compared to 2022. Projected deliveries will be more than 20 Venom F5s this year. That would be enough to complete the rest of the coupes and produce a little over 30 roadsters. The company now has more than 90 employees building its cars.

All 24 Venom F5 Coupes have reservation holders. Some Roadsters are still available.

The production version of the Venom F5 Coupe makes its debut in December 2020. It offers a twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V8 that produces 1,817 horsepower (1,354 kilowatts) and 1,193 pound-feet (1,617 Newton-meters) of torque. Hennessey believes the car can reach a theoretical maximum speed of 311 miles per hour (500 kilometers per hour), but is still working to verify this speed.

The Venom F5 has a carbon fiber monocoque. Most of the body and interior also use this lightweight material. The result is a vehicle that weighs 2,998 pounds (1,360 kilograms) dry.

Hennessey revealed the Venom F5 Roadster in production specs (above) during Monterey Car Week in 2022. It shares a powertrain with the coupe, but gives buyers an open-air experience. The removable roof panels weigh 18 pounds and fit into a duffle-lined travel bag. The revised style includes a tempered glass window which gives the machine a look.

Compared to the coupe, the Venom F5 Roadster weighs under 3,100 pounds (1,406 kg), according to Hennessey. Estimated top speed is over 300 mph (483 kph).

Venom F5 Roadster starts at $3 million. In comparison, the coupe is slightly cheaper with a base price of $2.1 million.
