Family Hennessey Venom F5 continues to grow and welcome their third member. Let's say hello Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution. Here is a version of the absurdly powerful high-speed monster, optimized for racetrack and further developed for greater vacuum and improved handling.
As a racer, if you live in constant fear of doing worse the next day at the track, that usually shouldn't happen to you again. Also Venom F5 Revolution used 6,6 liter “Fury” Biturbo V8 engine, which offers 1.817 BAM in 1.617 Nm of torque. However, the Revolution is the lightest in the Hennessey family, weighing less than 1.360 kilograms. That's a somewhat daunting power-to-weight ratio. Most of the changes are on aerodynamics and chassis car. A very large, adjustable rear spoiler helps increase downforce. At speed 300 km/h the car now generates 362 kilograms, at 400 km/h and 635 kilograms.
Besides, it is Hennessey fitted a thick carbon front splitter to prevent airflow under the car. Rear diffuser directs the air below it. Wings in front of the front wheels improve grip and steering. The roof scoop supplies the engine compartment with fresh air. Suspension with double bus was given more aggressive slope values. They are also available adjustable dampers, which can be adjusted on the racetrack with simple tools. Bigger forged rims and the tires allow a little more contact surface.
Hennessey will be the F5 Revolution on the racetrack offered with built-in telemetry system, which enables real-time monitoring. They belong to functions lap times and G-forces. The car is expected to be tested at the famous later this year Nordschleife at the Nürburgring. We wonder if he will achieve competitive lap times. Hennessey doesn't rule it out, but they don't get too excited about it either. "Are we planning to beat the Mercedes AMG One on the Nordschleife? It's not necessary, because that's not what we built the car for. Of course, at some point when we're on the Nordschleife, we have one eye on the AMG One's time of 6 minutes and 35 seconds,He said John Hennesey, the head of the company. Let's remember: Mercedes-AMG One recently set a new lap record in the "Green Hell" with his One hypercar.
World premiere Hennessey F5 Revolution will be at the event on January 15 Miami Motorcar Cavalcade Concours d'Elegance. The company is said to produce only 24 copies of this supercar. The starting price is $ 2,7 million. According to Hennessey, quite a few vehicles have already been sold. There are only a handful of cars left. So if you are interested or want to own one, you will have to hurry.
