- With a power to weight ratio of 1.34 horsepower per kilogram of curb weight, what is it like to drive the most powerful internal combustion hypercar in the world? We interviewed 24 Hours of Le Mans and Rolex 24 Hour of Daytona winning driver David Donohue, who for the last year has collaborated with the Hennessey Special Vehicles team to assist with the Venom F5's development program and to introduce the car to our clients.
The Venom F5 Revolution Coupe is an apex predator on a racing circuit. Based on the Hennessey Venom F5 Coupe, the track-focused Revolution variant is distinguished from its sibling by its comprehensively reworked aerodynamics, suspension, engine cooling, and digital telemetry.

Take it to the Nürburgring!!
Death sentance with a car that fast and no rollcage.
after long line of other hyper manufacturers that have honor to do it before...for now only AMG One and Rimac Nevera did it...amd from the past I think Bugatti went there with Veyron
Overrated. Take it to a real track like Spa
At circuit of the Americas I must admit it looked slow through corners but its raw power on straights and less tight corners gets the top time! I mean it would do well under 7 mins at the ring but it would not get close to the Merc one or gordan murrys t50 niki lauder! Thats the car I want to see do laps is gordans t50 niki lauder! that car under 900kg and 750hp fan derived WEAPON will destroy any car ever! When he put this fan on f1 car it DESTROYED everyone so a modern version look out! The f5 I really like it but don't think it's a true circuit built car! But it handles very well so it's a great car! Just my humble opinion!!
but its popular, will get more eyes on it if it achieves under 7

I cant believe David is such a calm and cool guy being the incredible driver he is. I want to listen to him talk for hours about his racing experiences
isn't that dependent of the situation he is in
@@drtydshnah, he’s pretty much always like that.
The Venom F5 is a revolution! This is one of those moment in time cars. Well done Team Hennessey. Well done.
lol its a british chassis and the rest is bolted together in their shop.....its certainly not a revolution....Delta Motorsport designed and builds it for them.
@@Slapbladder Don't overlook craftsmanship and engineering put into "bolting" this car together. Very few cars in the world can approach the performance specs of the F5 on pump gas and do it without blowing up or flying off the road so I definitely believe it is a revolution.
@@malcolmar You are just plain wrong. How to show us that you know nothing about cars. In that price range, most cars have a higher specific output, better brakes, airbag and TC that this kit car is deprived of. Almost all cars selling for the same price are better in every way than this piece of crap. Porsches, Paganis, Bugatti, Lambos all come with airbag and are crash tested. Keep coping
@@smb.4900 No worries. Remember not everything has to be catered to you. The fact you are trashing another man's dream and the car he was able to make with a company he started already tells me a lot about you. The cars you mentioned are amazing cars and all have been in the business much longer that Hennessey. For Hennessey to accomplish what he accomplished in the time he did it is amazing. Just sad you don't see that. There is a bigger war against cars like this and if we can't stand together and support these accomplishments, these cars will be gone.
@@malcolmar This car is a piece of junk sold by a dude mostly famous for ripping his customers.
Would love to see how it does around spa or the nordschleife. This car sounds and looks great!!!
I feel like the side profile is exactly what every kid drew a fast car to look like
And that is not a bad thing at all. It is beautiful
Agreed
Didn’t you want that car as a kid?
Love it when I see these videos pop up in the feed.
Hopefully one of crazy the millionaires that buys one of these will let Misha take it around the ring
Absolutely gorgeous car! 😍 LOVE IT! SAVAGE exhaust notes...
I love it Hennessey and keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
And it’s ours. Rock on Texas! And that run from 2:15 to 2:29, damn!
👍🦅🇺🇸💪
Reminds me of a mclaren P1, especially the sound!!
Looks and sounds Sick... Not sure it will live with the t50s on a proper track or road with corners..
Give it to Jason Cammisa and Randy pobst and let them give is 30+ minutes of good content
This thing just sounds gigantic, the previous video in particular showed it well reverberating through the stands
Just love it! Well, SSC Tuatara is also no joke 🇺🇸
I remember back ancient times now reading car and driver magazine back when the Hennessy was probably just starting out and there was also another one called Dontov. That was modifying Corvette too.
It’s great to see the F5 being more than just a straight line hypercar! That test at COTA really proves it’s capabilities. It’s a F1 GP circuit after all. Of course everybody wants to see it at the Nordschleife or Spa to compare the lap times with other Super/hypercars. But I think it would be enough to take to COTA another great sport car like a 992 GT3RS or a McLaren 720S and show their performances at the same day with the same driver!
All hail' Hennessey - Makes sense. The man is a strategist. That LS given GM motor is a god send when tweaked. That's coming from a rotary guy. Full salute..
We need pure and simple footage of this thing flying around the track! No talking or fluff just the car and the sounds it makes while embarrassing other super & hypercars!! 🇺🇸💪
Check out the video of the F5 lap around COTA, it’s exactly what you’re asking for.
"It Ruins Other Cars"
Aston Martin Valkyrie : "Hold my beer"
Front of 488 , rear of 720s , sound of a C8 , good combo
Needs the rear of an F1 or perhaps an F40 to really look good.
Definitely a crazy machine and well thought out with attention to detail
All talk and sensationalism...
Any/every European equivalent destroys this car...
Put your money where your mouth is...
Let's start benchmarking, take it to the ring, take it to Silverstone, take it on the desert salts for top speed runs....
No? Why not...? How long has this car been in production... Let's be honest..no?
Sensationalism?
This car is stunning!! The only problem, maybe , is too much power at rear wheels will make the car burn those tires and lose time, same as the 😢 he had to lift the pedal so the car couldn't spin those rear tire.
So your suggesting AWD would have been better? 🤔
It doesn't spin that much
Not AWD cause in the video at Cota most curves he couldn't push the pedal down, like he was cautious of spinning at the rear maybe at high speed curves he would be a beast but a tight curve it needs to be slower cannot accelerate due he can spin those rears tires a lot and with more than 1800hp!, imagine.
@@Angelbonilla1982AWD doesn't work like it does in Forza, bud. It helps you power through corners.
What I mean is that this car can go faster, do better time at Cota than the one he broke.
Take it to Leguna Seca. Corkscrew turn 😁🤗😉.
So sweet...
I love how he said; "introducing the cars to the customers".
I'm really curious what it will do at Laguna Seca...
What is the stated goal with the F5?
Make a few extremely rich guys look cool, next question.
Lol @@wronggg
You know they have a website, right?
@@NRF787 Good point, I think I was in a glum mood yesterday. Lol
Just for a purist at heart that engine alone seriously I'm building everything around that and extracting everything you can I get it and everybody keeps harping on the Nuremberg track when you get there I hope everything works out for you this is one awesome expectation that I am waiting on and thank you for putting the time in to possibly taking it to a negative side awesome content unbelievable car peace
0:14 so raw but the steering "wheel" reminds me of one of those 90's thigh exercise squeezers from infomercials
A Nurburgring lap record with this car will show everyone out there.
😂 it cant even make a ”record”…
I've been waiting 13 years for some lap times and video of a Venom around the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
it will make it in record time...into the barriers
Could this be an entry into the 24 hrs of Daytona in the future?
Not unless they detune it. The amount of horsepower this thing has means it won't be reliable enough for an endurance race. I'd be really surprised if the maintenance schedule doesn't include a full rebuild at 100 hours or less of run time.
1:55 🇺🇸’Merica
How much of the f5 is actually made in the US ? I read somewhere that the carbon tub was made in Europe...
Could be, but a lot of carbon tubs of european supercars are made in canada.
I’m pretty sure the monocoque is produced in England which makes sense since most carbon is made there.
It is still an American car because Hennessey is an American company. My FK8 Honda Civic Type R was built in England with an engine made here in the US but the Honda Civic Type R is a Japanese car because Honda is a Japanese company. I have no problems with Hennessey working with the best in the industry to make the F5 the best it can be.
@@malcolmar That's cool and all, but let's say a new supercar popped up, that was provably designed, engineered and manufactured in USA by Americans using American components. Would you rank this hypothetical car on the same level as a car that was, let's say, outsourced to a foreign country, yet proudly wearing American flag?
I have a feeling these differences would suddenly gain prominence.
Hennessey is a small company compared to other hypercar manufacturers, and even if they weren't, most hypercars are built with help from a variety of countries around the world.
It sounds like a louder version of the Mclaren P1 from the outside.
And from the inside, the Venom lacks that turbo sound that the P1 is known for.
it does all kinds of turbo sounds when you sit inside ... it is quite insane. Haven't driven the P1, but have driven Senna many times and the F5 is MUCH more raw. After one of my many the drives in the F5, I once jumped into a Senna to get back home and it was like jumping from a sports car to a Merc S-class! And anyone who had driven Senna once will tell you, Senna is anything but a comfy car! But the F5 is on another level.
@Elberoth this is quite possible the most cap comment I've seen on TH-cam, and I've seen a lot.
@@Elberoth I am apologize.
The way I wrote the comment gives the impression as if I wanted to say that Venom is lacking in sound.
I didn't mean to say that something was wrong with Venom. I just wanted to make a comparison with the P1. Comparison based on experience gained through online videos that cannot be compared to reality.
I really appreciate the effort and the end result that Hennessey did. And I believe your words that it is in a class above Senna (including P1) in therms of everything.
I can't wait to see the upcoming records of Venom in future.
Cheers. 😉👍
McLaren hasn't built anything exciting since the F1.
@@TehButterflyEffect it only shows, you havn't driven a Senna.
Would like to know what kind of laptimes it can do, at the notable tracks, like VIR, Nurburgring. (Or even local California favorites like WillowSprings, Buttonwillow, Thunderhill)
Just checked, the Venom F5 has the production car lap record at COTA, with a 2:10.9! Nice!
looks like its tuned for street tires. it needs to be tuned on slick to help stabilize the whole package. Also the front end needs to be lowered by 1 inch
OK WOW.. THOSE FIRST TURNS AT THE START… THE BODY DID NOT MOVE! 😮 IT WAS FLATTER THAN THE TRACK!! 😮
I moved to Texas a few years ago and hope to make it down to see Hennessey before our gov does something stupid. Such a big state it's still a 4+ hour drive.
Looks like fun
" this car is " fully sorted too " ( amazing )
This is the most ridiculous, pointless, self flagellating waste of engineering I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
- I’m in love
Is it street legal?
Its a Kit Car. They will never run this on the ring or any serious track.
It is a racecar with plates.
I don't think you know what a kit car is and this is a real track.
@@strykerman7888It is a kit car because : Not following any regs, No airbags, No crash tests, Chassis designed and built in England. Really, it is a kit car which seem to lack any kind of innovation as opposed to Koenigsseg or Bugattis.
Pulls at your heart☕️
What an amazing machine.
We waiting for your 500km/h breaking record man, show this monster power pls
Very Nice;))
What's the price tag going to be roughly
It's on my bucket list for the big lottery win. In the meantime, it's my favorite car in Forza Horizon 5.
Racing elegance
The question is.. knowing the rivals (Jesko being one of them ), does the hennessey f5 follow the same homolgation rules specifically on the emissions department? I'm asking this because, as a spectator, i look forward to future comparisons, but I would like to know who had it easier since that will change the way I appreciate the efforts done to reach such a high level of performance. Nevertheless, congrats to hennessey. I can't wait to see it on the ring or spa with proper supporting data/video logging.
They do not, they are working under exemptions under the Low Volume Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Act of 2015.
@Sunedosa unfair advantage specially on the hypercar world.
@@luispereira953 Idd same with SSC.
David who?
I've never heard about him. Where is his name in the 1998 le mans winner's list?
So when is it going to Hit 300Mph?
When can we see it participating in actual wheel to wheel competitive Motorsports?
Cool to see it on an empty track, but if it’s all that great let’s see it racing in the GT classes…?
How much for an oil change? 🤔
what racetrack is that?
Need this car in my life ngl
Is it still a kit car?
Can we get options.... Maybe a DCT.... Maybe from the Mustang GT500. Then and only then will you appeal to the whole world.
Where's the fun in that?
I bet it comes with quite the price tag too.
Nurburgring please!
🇺🇸 Icon🥇
Can we get this in gran tourismo
which racetrack is this please
Hedge Hollow in Missouri.
Interesting perspective calling it a muscle car.
does this one have 1800hp? it kinda seems slower than the venom GT!
Yes, it does have 1800. The newer version may have a little more.
It’s usually detuned when taken to tracks, I believe it’s around 1200 Hp here
It has only 0.5bar of boost in track mode, so probably around 1200-1300hp.
*To: Team Hennessy Public Relations. If you’re reading this. Ultimate Merit equals NÜRBURGRING laps.*
Venom f5 1.38 hp/kg - jesko 1.13 hp/kg
MERICA 🇺🇸
Venom F5 lateral acceleration: 1.59 Gs
Jesko Attack lateral acceleration: 2.0+ Gs
🤌🏼😂
Now make it road legal in every single country in the world and give it air bags and crash test it.
I mean if we’re gonna compare…
Koenigsegg jesko downforce at 155 mph - 1764 pounds
Venom f5 revolution downforce at 186 mph- 800 pounds
Power isn’t everything 🤷🏽♂️
@@gativirycat6686is it better to Have higher gs or lower
@@Sebastian-xl7vd higher is better cuz lateral acceleration is equal to max cornering grip wich is measured with gravity unit, wich means full weight + force of gravity ratio. For example, 1.0 G indicates the weight × 2. Most sport cars can handle 0.70 to 1.2 Gs of grip. A brand new Porsche 911 GT3 RS wich is arguably one of the best handling cars in production now can handle 1.4 Gs of grip. Racecars have much higher grip due to tires, so they can withstand in 4.0 Gs or more. F1 cars are above 5.0 Gs wich means 6 × weight, wich is why their drivers need special training. Koenigsegg's "least track focused" vehicle can handle 1.70 Gs of grip, so Jesko is a different kind of monster in that aspect. For a car to sustain triple it's weight in grip on a street tire alone is insane.
I always wondered what itd be like if the regular populas could afford such super cars
Vammossss ❤❤now take it to the nordschleife plz I beg.
Uy🎉
Put it up against Jesko attack . At the strip Ang on the track
2.3 million, I doubt as quick as an Amg GT black around a circuit and I doubt as quick as a Chiron SS in a straight line…. My choice if I was Fortunate enough…. Merc in the garage the remaining 2 mil on a nice big house/big bank balance.
Hope, just hope for a rip in this!
Guys this car really sounds like the iconic BMW Z4 GT3 race car but on steroids
It’s the other way around
It is a good car but saying it ruins others is not a professional statement while very well knowing there are cars such as Bugatti Bolide Koenigsegg McMurtry etc that can seriously outperform.
I believe David Donohue. He's no marketer or sales person. Smart marketing video! Sure its all he says it is.
do it in hp/lb
Wanna make a statement, take it to Germany
What the hell is a KG !? I thought this was a Texas company
🤤🤤😍
I’ll “take that” from Diddy to get one of these 😂
99% of people would if they didn’t have to tell anyone 😂😂😂
Never
@@ifeawosika966 you wouldn’t do something strange for some change? 😂😂😂😂😂
@daltonnko9901 Nah
Im too old for that. Ive learned most things in life are meaningless.
@@ifeawosika966 Respect
¿Como puede alguien hacer esas soldaduras tan malas y quedar satisfecho con el trabajo?
Can't wait to see how it stacks up against the other Heros out there. Best American Muscle out of anything in the US for sure. Want to see how the Tuatara will stack up against this too. Venom looks and sounds robust. We are all still waiting.....yawn.....for the 306 to be beaten and everyone else keeps stating they will break it and we are all waiting, and waiting....and waiting....and waiting......etc.
Top speed 300mph when?
Until we find a long enough flat surface that is longer than 2.5 miles. I say take it to rogers dry lake bed in California.
Drag race an Agera R!!
From the front it looks like a Pagani Zonda
This beast needs 2b in Gran Turismo 7
It a Lotus on steroids simple 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I mean i like horse power as a measurement personally but this should be advertised as 1kw per kg
My birthday is coming up in July. How about a gift?
Car is so badazz
But is this faster than the Bugatti Bolide?
Мир вам Америка))один из самых дерзких аппаратов на планете и прямой конкурент Шведским наземным истребителям💪💪💪
I need to win the lottery 😘🤤😅
Pr:weight baby 😁
Driving empire was coming update
Isn't this the car that said it could do 800,00 billion miles per second in a faked video?
