Bugatti Veyron-killer? Hennessey Venom F5

Say "Hello" to Hennessey Venom F5. This Texan V8 biturbo devil Tuner legend John Hennessey wants to send the full-speed world record of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport finally to where the pepper grows. Which is known, at 431 km / h. If it goes to Hennessey, are the Peanuts. The new Venom F5 to create 290 miles per hour. Corresponding to 467 km / h. Ravings of a mad small series manufacturer? Not at all! Finally, Hennessey has already broken with the Venom GT record. At least unofficially. Since you (the NASA Kennedy Space Center runway early 2014) drove the 435 km / h in only one of the two required directions, the record run of Guinness World Records did not recognize. A lasting impression was one anyway.

About 1,400 hp at 1,300 kilos
So now it is the Hennessey Venom F5 judge. The name has nothing to do with your keyboard, but describes the most destructive tornado genus. How fitting. The F5 can be viewed as an evolution of the Venom GT. Official performance data for the revised 7.0-liter twin-turbo V8, there is not yet, but Hennessey's pretty sure that he will eject more than 1,400 hp. That would be about 150 bhp more than the Venom GT. The new full carbon fiber bodywork wrapped around an optimized version of the Venom GT chassis keeps the weight under 1300 kg (the Venom GT weighs 1,244 kilos) and reduces the drag coefficient from 0.44 to less than 0.4. According to John Hennessey has no influence on the stability at high speeds: "He will produce more than enough output," he says.

Venom F5 does not start until the end of 2016
Besides the well-known six-speed manual will be the first time an automatic with shift paddles for the Hennessey Venom F5. A dual-clutch transmission was not an option for weight and durability reasons. In addition, the F5 will have a pretty shrewd, GPS-based traction control that can be adjusted to a different race tracks like the Nordschleife. The Venom F5 will celebrate its world premiere in 2015. The delivery starts towards the end of 2016 at least 30 copies will build Hennessey. The price is 1.2 million dollars (about 900,000 euros) plus taxes of the Venom GT exceed the manufacturer.
