Texas-based Hennessey has announced that all of the planned Venom F5 hypercars have been sold.
It follows successful appearances at multiple Monterey Car Week events in California. The F5 was shown at The Quail, and the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
Displaying a pair of Hennessey Venom F5s helped secure buyers for the last of the 24 cars planned. Each Venom F5 is priced from $2.1 million (£1.54 million).
The fastest way to be a sell out
Making the rapid sales success of the Venom F5 more impressive, is only being officially launched in May this year. The prestigious Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance event marked the public debut of the mid-engined machine.
This followed initial performance testing, which saw the Venom F5 reach over 200 mph running with only 900 hp.
The 6.6-l twin-turbocharged ‘Fury’ engine is set to produce 1,817 hp. Torque is an an equally huge 1,193-lb ft.
Hennessey has geared the F5 to reach a top speed of over 300 mph. A 0-60 mph sprint is expected to take 2.7 seconds, with the promise of the impressive on-track handling, too.
Surprises still to come…
With all cars now sold, Hennessey may return to refining the Venom F5. More final validation testing on roads and racing circuits is first on the list. Full-power acceleration runs, along with other high-speed evaluations will follow.
The final challenge will come with attempting to reach the top speed of 311 mph.
According to company founder John Hennessey, this is just the start of the Venom F5 story. He commented that: “We’ve saved a few more surprises for the F5, including the Track Pack enhancements, plus something else that’s literally out of this world!”
Given Hennessey’s 30-year reputation for adding power, a more extreme version of the Venom F5 seems likely.
