The Circuit of the Americas is dominated by American performance.
It wasn’t long ago when Hennessey announced its partnership with racing legend David Donohue, who came together with the common goal of breaking records and redefining the landscape of American automotive performance, and automotive performance as a whole. Now, an incredible record has been broken, within Hennessey’s home state of Texas, where its already-legendary Venom F5 Revolution hypercar has set the new road car lap record at the Circuit of the Americas.
With a 2:10.90 lap time, the Venom F5 Revolution eclipsed the Czinger 21C’s 2:11.33 time by almost half a second, and the McLaren P1’s 2:17.12 time by almost seven seconds. On the track, the hypercar hit speeds as high as 193 mph, with its 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing an incredible 1,817 horsepower, and it was also able to pull as much as 1.59 Gs in corners, and -1.61 Gs in braking, making it an absolutely fearsome track machine.
With the Revolution variant’s incredible on-track capabilities, the standard Hennessey Venom F5 has incredible ambitions of its own, hoping to eclipse the 300-mph top-speed barrier, and with David Donohue partnering with Hennessey to break the COTA lap record, the journey to the incredibly ambitious 300-mph milestone is one amazing step closer to completion.
