In the clip, you’ll also see the McLaren P1 Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari. There is also a McLaren Senna, a modern McLaren Senna, as well as the original C1 Chevrolet Corvette. The clip also shows that there are a few old sport prototype racers.
Hennessey will build only 24 Venom F5s with 1,817 horsepower, each starting at $2.1million. That’s certainly a low run, but there were even fewer examples of the car’s predecessor, the Venom GT, built—13 to be exact.
Hennessey said during 2021 Monterey Car Week all the build slots were gone. That’s impressive considering that the car required a Show and Display title because it lacks airbags. Although the possibility of additional models has not been ruled out by Hennessey, they haven’t stopped talking about it. One possibility is the high-downforce version that can be used for track driving. At some point, an open-top version might also be possible.

However, what about a high-speed run? John Hennessey was the Hennessey boss and stated in 2018 that he plans to break the Venom F5’s land speed record. SSC Tuatara set the current production car speed record of 282.9 miles in January. The Bugatti Chiron was recorded at 304.773 miles per hour in 2019. However, this record is not considered official due to the fact that only one Bugatti Chiron run was done. Hennessey claims a Venom F5 top speed of 311 miles per hour.
Hennessey is already acquainted with someone from Texas who can close off a portion of Highway 59 for Venom F5’s high-speed run. He could also arrange for the use of the same highway in Nevada near Pahrump as Koenigsegg used to record a run using the AgeraRS in 2017.
We’ll just have to watch and wait.
