Specifications
The Venom F5 is powered by 7.4 L twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The engine is estimated to produce 1,600 hp (1,193 kW; 1,622 PS) and 1,300 lb?ft (1,763 N?m) of torque. Pennzoil and Shell are partners with Hennessey to help fund the 301 mph (484 km/h) record attempt. The top speed is claimed to be 301 mph (484 km/h) through a V-MAX speed-tracking system. Hennessey predicts the car will perform 0-186 mph (0-300 km/h) in a time of under 10 seconds and a 0-249 mph (0-400 km/h) time of under 20 seconds.
The available transmissions will be a 7-speed single-clutch semi-automatic transmission with paddle shifters, driving the rear wheels, making the car rear-wheel drive along with a 6-speed manual transmission both offered as an option to customers.
The chassis and body will be made almost entirely of carbon fiber. Active aerodynamics are now paired with the body, a first for Hennessey. The weight reportedly stands at 2,950 lb (1,338 kg) with fluids, setting the power-to-weight ratio at 1,196 hp per ton. Because of the use of active aerodynamics and a sleek, new design it has an estimated drag coefficient of Cd=0.33.
The brakes are from Brembo, and the tires provided are Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires offering high grip and rigidity.
Production
The price of the car in the United States will be US$1.6 million, and GB£1.2 million in Europe with the planned production of only 24 units. The owners of the car will only be hand-picked, in lieu of "first come, first serve" basis.
