The Texas-based company showed a pair of Venom F5 customer cars at Monterey Car week where orders were confirmed for the remaining models of the 24-vehicle run.
The F5 pair were shown at The Quail – A Motorsports Gathering, the Pebble Beach Concours and McCall's Motorworks Revival at the week-long celebration of all things automotive in California.
Tens of thousands of fans joined Hennessey customers in admiring the "performance follows function" form of the F5 along with its luxurious, driver-focused interior.
John Hennessey, company founder and CEO: “Showing two of the latest F5 models at The Quail and Pebble Beach alongside the likes of Bugatti, Lamborghini and Koenigsegg was an honor for the whole Hennessey team. The fact that we secured orders from customers who saw the cars at the events is testament to the quality our team has achieved… and we’re yet to reach the vehicle’s full potential!”
Hennessey’s US$2.1 million (RM8.9mil) twin-turbocharged, 6.6-litre V8 hypercar boasts 1,817hp and 1,617Nm of torque making it the most powerful hypercar ever made.
Hennessey said its team focused on quality of workmanship, and simplicity of design and engineering to deliver an exceptional hypercar.
With the show season drawing to a close, the engineering team may return to final validation testing on roads and racing circuits. The final phase of testing will see the team refine the car’s full-power acceleration, high-speed stability and braking. Once the engineering team signs-off this final development phase, Hennessey has its sights set on a top speed surpassing 500kph.
