year: 2015 Model: Venom GT price: $ 1500000 (Est.) Engine: V8 Horsepower @ RPM: 1400 Displacement: 7.0 L 0-60 time: 2.5 sec. (Est.) Top Speed: 290 mph (Est.) You know that saying when you’re at the top, there’s no other place to go but down? Yeah, try telling that to Hennessey . The company that already has the fastest production car in the world (Guinness fails to certify it due to its crafty rules) in its stable is shooting for the stars with plans to develop evil in a vehicular form. The Texas-based company calls this evil on wheels the Venom F5. Hennessey boss John Hennessey broke the news to Top Gear, gushing about the possibility of the Venom F5 hitting a top speed no other production car in the world has been able to attain. I think something in the 290-mph range will be possible, Hennessey said. The man apparently didn’t misspeak when he said 290 mph, which is all the indication you need to know that Mr. Hennessey Hennessey has either lost his mind or he is determined to drive Bugatti insane with constant pressure from Texas. The Venom F5 name pretty much says it all. That F5 nomenclature is a reference to the most powerful classification given to tornadoes, or in the case of the Venom, a destructive output of around 1,400 horsepower. All these horses are reigned in by a single-clutch, paddle-shift transmission, not the Ricardo, six-speed manual found in the Venom GT. You can, however, opt for the manual, if you like. Start quivering in your boots, Bugatti . It’s better to embrace the inevitable than continue fighting for your cause.
