Coming to our 2021 Concept Lawn: The Hennessey Venom F5
August 10, 2021
The Hennessey Venom F5 is a bespoke mid-engine hypercar engineered to exceed 300 mph while delivering unparalleled performance and the world’s most exhilarating driving experience. The Venom F5 is Hennessey’s follow-up act to its celebrated, and world speed record holding, Venom GT.
Built in the United States, the Venom F5 utilizes a carbon fiber monocoque passenger tub with aluminum alloy subframes covered in a carbon fiber skin. Credit the painstaking attention to detail for the lowering mass—the two-passenger coupe has a dry weight of just 2,998 lbs.

The Venom F5 boasts a custom 6.6-liter, twin-turbocharged, V8 engine dubbed “Fury.” Under full boost, the engine develops a phenomenal 1,817 hp and 1,192 lb.ft. of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 7-speed, single-clutch, automated gearbox. Acceleration is astonishing and relentless—Hennessey is targeting an independently validated top speed more than 500 km/h (311 mph).
Power and top speed dominated the design parameters, but the crucial engineering goal was to deliver a peer-less performance envelope, methodically honed dynamics (tuned by John Heinricy), and a truly visceral experience behind the wheel. The Venom F5 project is overseen by company Founder and CEO John Hennessey, who has spent the past 30 years making fast cars faster.
Just 24 ultra-exclusive versions of the Venom F5 will be produced, with each example specially commissioned to its owner.
