| Venom F5 |
The Venom F5 has front bumpers that are arched in a snarling wolf and a ribbed rear roofline like the back of some ancient reptiles. The sides of her body are chiseled to structural dimensions. The quad-array of the rear tailpipes appear to be breathing fire, too. It comes with a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces 1,817 hp and weighs a mere 2,988 lbs.
With an expected top speed of 311 mph (500.5 km / h), it could set a new record as the fastest car in the world.
The $ 2.1 million coupe is much faster than the Hennessey Venom GT which set a world record of 270.49 mph in 2014 and faster than the Bugatti Chiron prototype, the current record holder at 304.77 mph; The fastest production car is now the Koenigsegg Agera RS at 277.87 mph).
But top speed is a byproduct of engineering, not the goal, says construction worker John Hennessy. It even tends to underestimate the speed recording angle; He says that only a third of his customers buy the handcrafted car for that title. Others want it for other reasons, such as, for example, horseback riding on regular highways and spirited driving on local tracks. Or, supposedly, keep it away as an investment piece.
"We're really trying to build a great car," says Hennessy, who has built high-performance cars, SUVs and work trucks for nearly 30 years in Sealy, Texas. We see you speeding facts to see what modifications we want to make to make our car safe, reliable, exciting and powerful. - if we can all the way, we are able to break a record, yes, of course we want to be able to prove it, but we incorporate that into our process."
Unlike some supercars, which can be hard, hot and uncomfortably noisy, due to their tin-body feel and lack of amenities, the Hennessey is designed for all types of driving, not just high speeds. He's a decathlon, he says, not just a runner.
"The overall straight performance and all this phenomenal pace may be her strongest strength, but we intend to be able to jump into F5, climb a British B trail, drive across country, have fun and not spin the tires at 100 mph." Amenities like interior leather sourced from one of the oldest tanneries in Europe - Muirhead Tannery in Glasgow, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 9-inch touchscreen, and the Venom F5's satellite navigation system modifies that suggestion, though Than anyone expecting to get their back massage or a cool champagne bottle in the back should look a lot more plush.
However, it wouldn't hurt the record. Koenigsegg, Bugatti, Lamborghini and other high-performance automakers routinely promote their merchandise based on the times of the hill king, whether it's speed records on the ground, icy speed records, or records on specific tracks like Nurburgring that have settled deep in Germany's green-fog forests.
