After a nearly two-year-long engineering and development phase, Hennessey has unveiled its all-new carbon fibre tub that will serve as the foundation of the Venom F5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made entirely of carbon fibre<\/a>, the all-new design has been engineered and built to propel the Venom F5 to a top speed of over 310 mph.  The new F5 chassis is both strong and lightweight.  Torsional rigidity has been measured at 52,000-newton metres per degree (38,353 lb-ft torque per degree) and it weighs in at 86 kilograms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our all new carbon fiber chassis is an engineering marvel and to see it in person is like looking at a piece of artwork.  It\u2019s like a piece of automotive jewelry that\u2019s built to run 500+ km\/h<\/p>Company founder and CEO, John Hennessey<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Being mated to the new chassis is Hennessey Specialty Vehicles\u2019 all-new bespoke 1,800+ hp engine called Fury. Based on classic American V8 architecture, the Hennessey Venom F5 engine produces 1817 horsepower and 1193 lb-ft of torque. It uses a combination of high-tech, lightweight engine components (crankshaft, pistons, connecting rods & custom engine block) that combine for 6.6L of displacement. Combined with a pair of Precision ball bearing twin turbochargers with 3D printed<\/a> titanium compressor housings, the Venom F5 engine delivers over 1800 bhp at 8000 rpm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
