For those who aren’t as in tune with the automotive world, specifically the hypercar industry, it’s hard to imagine spending millions of dollars on a car that will take you from point A to point B. For passionate car collectors and enthusiasts, there’s no better place to park your money than a high-performance hypercar that will continue to appreciate in popularity and value as a piece of automotive history. The niche world of ultra-exclusive, American-made hypercars is further explained in a CBS Sunday Morning special featuring Hennessey Performance founder John Hennessey and the $3 million Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution.
Exploring an industry prominently dominated by huge names like Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Ferrari, and a few others, John Hennessey and his Texas-based operation knew that they were taking on a tall task: competing with models like the Chiron, Regera, and LaFerrari. Totally aware of the mind-blowing price tag that comes with becoming a Venom F5 owner, John explains that buying a multi-million dollar hypercar is purely emotional. He describes his thinking by saying, “You can buy a people mover for $30k to $40k, so I would argue that every dollar spent over $40k is based on emotion.”
Allowing the Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution to speak for itself, John took CBS Correspondent Lee Cowan on a tour throughout the production facility to showcase the craftsmanship that goes into hand-building each car. The whole tour of Hennessey Performance wasn’t complete before experiencing the Venom F5 Revolution’s 1,800 horsepower ‘Fury’ engine on a blistering lap around the manufacturer’s private test track. The laughs and smiles left on John and Lee after unleashing all that the Venom F5 Revolution is the reason why you spend $3 million on a car.
