New 2,031HP Hennessey Venom F5 Evolution Finalizes Testing

Hennessey’s incredible hypercar gets even better. Hennessey Performance represents the pinnacle of all-American high-performance automotive engineering, transforming vehicles into ultra-powerful machines with its tuning know-how, and also creating an array of formidable hypercars of its own, like the Venom F5, whose twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter “Fury” V8 is responsible for 1,817 horsepower, breaking lap records and targeting a top speed of above 300 mph. The Venom F5 Coupe and Roadster, as well as the track-focused Venom F5 Revolution, the Revolution Roadster, and the manual Venom F5 M have been building an incredible legacy as one of the greatest hypercars in the world for the cherished performance manufacturer, showing off the pinnacle of American performance. However, Hennessey wasn’t satisfied with just that, as a new variant of the Venom F5 is now emerging: the Venom F5 Evolution. Testing is being finalized for the new model, and created in collaboration between Hennessey and Ilmor Engineering, the new Venom F5 Evolution is the world’s most powerful purely internal combustion road car, with an unthinkable 2,031 horsepower on tap from a further developed “Fury” V8 engine. Not only is the power output of the engine dramatically increased, but it also boasts improved durability and drivability. After delivering nearly 30 Venom F5 hypercars to clients, the next-generation model of the Venom F5 shatters expectations of the automotive industry yet again, boasting an acceleration time from 0 to 200 mph in just 10.3 seconds. The engine, however, isn’t the only subject for improvement. Aerodynamic efficiency was also improved, thanks to wind tunnel testing resulting in a redesign of the front splitter and a revision of the underside of the car. The new Venom F5 Evolution also features tweaked suspension, and a revised interior created to make long journeys and rallies more comfortable and practical through extra “Touring” options. Available as a package for newly ordered and existing Venom F5 models, including the Coupe, Roadster, and Revolution models for $285,000. The “Touring” upgrades for the interior are available for an extra cost. Already dominating the American hypercar world, the incredible Hennessey Venom F5 just got even better.

The Hamilton Collection Takes Delivery Of Its $3M Henness...

With a garage full of record-breaking hypercars, including the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, Rimac Nevera, Koenigsegg Regera, Porsche 918 Spyder, and McLaren Senna, The Hamilton Collection has certainly grown numb to buying and driving some of the most expensive and powerful cars on the planet. And as if the garage lineup couldn't get any more impressive, Steve Hamilton and the team recently documented the delivery of the brand-new Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution Roadster on location in Illinois. Recently uploaded to its YouTube channel, The Hamilton Collection welcomed John Hennessey and his son Cole to unveil the car for the very first time. Before pulling the cover, John and Cole presented Steve with the "fancy key" to the Venom 5, machined from titanium and paint-matched to the car's exterior. John further explained that each of the Venom F5 keys comes designed with a piece of NASA's Endeavour space shuttle as a nod to his passion for astronauts and space travel. The big reveal of the Venom F5 Revolution Roadster left everyone in attendance jaw-dropped, with a showstopping Napier Green finish that pays homage to Steve's first McLaren Senna that was totaled in an accident. Hearing the chop of Hennessey's Texas-built twin-turbocharged V8, nicknamed 'Fury,' Steve expressed his excitement for this delivery, particularly because it is an American-made hypercar. After a brief walk-around explaining the spec and a quick run-through of its start procedure and various driving modes, Steve was ready to experience his first drive on the snowy streets of Illinois alongside his wife. The casual cruise quickly diverted to an empty backlot where Steve unleashed all 1,817 horsepower in F5 mode with some flame-spitting donuts. Kicking off its official ownership of Hennessey's most powerful hypercar yet, we cannot wait to see more Venom F5 Revolution Roadster content from The Hamilton Collection.

Watch Hennessey's New 1,005 HP Escalade V Leave A Lamborg...

Hennessey Performance recently revealed its 1,005-horsepower version of the already-impressive Cadillac Escalade-V, and it's turning heads on roads and tracks for all the right reasons. The popular luxury SUV isn’t just about size and comfort anymore—it’s a serious performance hauler, sprinting to 60 mph in only 3.6 seconds. To put that into perspective, Hennessey's Escalade is taking on supercars like the Lamborghini Huracan Evo and leaving them in the dust at the start line. All this extra power comes courtesy of upgrades like a high-flow supercharger, custom camshaft, and ported cylinder heads, giving the Escalade-V a massive 50% gain in horsepower. What makes the Hennessey H1000 Escalade-V even more impressive is that it comfortably seats seven people, making it the ultimate family SUV that can go toe-to-toe with some of the fastest cars on the road. John Hennessey recently staged a race against a Lamborghini to prove just how powerful the Escalade is, and the results were insane—the Escalade launching on a dime, leaving the Huracan trailing behind off the line. Production has already begun at Hennessey’s factory in Texas, and 2024 slots are completely sold out. If you’re looking to get your hands on one of these 1,005-horsepower SUVs, orders are now open for the 2025 run. With only 100 units being made for the 2023 and 2024 models, this Escalade is going to be a rare sight on the road, but one that’s sure to make a lasting impression.
