Hennessey Teases New Top Speed Record With A Look At The Past
Still, we should not allow ourselves to be desensitized from the spectacular achievement that the Venom GT managed to pull off. 0-186 mph took just 13.63 seconds thanks to a Chevrolet LS7 7.0-liter V8 supplemented by a pair of turbochargers to produce a mesmerizing 1,244 horsepower – all of which went to the rear axle via a six-speed manual transmission. Can the newcomer eclipse it? We certainly hope so.
The Venom F5 uses the basis of an LS engine bored out to the tune of 6.6 liters. The turbocharged V8 called the ‘Fury’ makes a dizzying 1,817 hp and 1,193 lb-ft of torque. If straight-line records prove out of reach for Hennessey going forward, at least it will have a shot at the Nurburgring record with the hardcore F5 GTR…
