FIRST LOOK: Hennessey Venom F5: 1,817bhp, 311mph. Is this the next world's fastest car? | Top Gear
You’re looking at the first production prototype of the Hennessey Venom F5 - the long-awaited 300mph+,1,817bhp all-American hypercar. Ready for some numbers? 0-62mph time of 2.6 seconds, followed by fireworks: 0-124mph in 4.7s and 0-250mph in 15.5s. That last figure? More than twice as fast as a Bugatti Chiron, and over seven secs quicker than a Koenigsegg Regera - the current 0-250-0mph champ. Target top speed is 311mph. There’s a lot more than that, so let Top Gear Magazine’s Jack Rix walk you around the car with the help of its creator, John Hennessey.

What a absolute animal 300 mph beast!!!!!!
I love the sound.
Idc about how loud it is. It just doesn't sound amazing, unlike a 812 Superfast with Novitech Exhaust system
Opinion.
This is true v8.
It looks like Ferrari F8 reborns.
Its simply a legal jet aircraft on road.
Amazing car, but I hate how they brush the fact that John Hennessy is a scam artist under the rug.
Oh that's sexy
Bugatti Bolide: "hold my beer..." Next-generation of the 8.0l quad turbo W16 will have 1,850hp, 1,850Nmm. The Chron Bolide will weigh a mere 1,240kg. Projected acceleration figures - 0-100km/h in 2.2s, 0-200km/h in 4.4s, 0-300km/h in 7.4s, 0-400km/h in 12.1s and 0-500km/h in only 20.1s!
Take a trip to Provo, Utah, there’s an empty area there known as Bonneville, problem solved.
It’s got apple music
I thought american were lazy at make super cars
Sounds like anti lag
How much is it
Such a beautiful car. But I think the interior needed more class, really. Centre screen looks cheap and out of place
First time in CSR Racing 2
not even 30 seconds of the actual car in some track....and that, ladies and gentleman that how you ruin a show.
Yeah sure, when they actually do that speed let us know. He promises a lot and delivers little.
Yet another American talking sht. About how fast the car is
Hennessey is top! 🔝 👍👍👍🔝🔝
300+11=311mph fast time
Koenigsegg Jesko.
Lighter than my bmw and 10x more horsepower
The Americans need to work on their aerodynamics. It’s more like a 2005 design.
For some odd reason, when I close my eyes, you sound just like Richard Hammond 🤣
This is torture I only watched the full vid because I’m a Hennessy fan
So much hate on this car from people who couldn’t afford it anyway.
is a long boi
Can you talk in kilometers please. America isn't the whole world.
Beautiful machine 💜
Back in 2016. Playing Forza horizon 3 with the Hennesay venom. Shit bringing back memories.
I'm here just to check who are new hosts this month on TG... Like I expected, cant watch it longer than 5 minutes.
John barely fits in the cockpit
I guess this is proof Ferrari got their aero right.
Where you going to enjoy this thing? My driver's license would last 3 minutes.
Never thought I’d see a stretch limousine that can do 300Mph.
Yes
This week on Top Gear. 14 seconds of hearing the car run through light revs, and then a dramatic "cut the motor" .22 minutes of babble.
Texas via Hethel
so this car doesn't drift? how do you counter steer with this steering? 🤔
This is totally not going to be vaporware like SSC, right? Doing 300+ on street tires when Veyron and Chiron, engineered by the largest carmaker in the world as a CEO pet project with unlimited resources, require bespoke rubber.
The car equivalent of a trump rally. loud, brash, utterly dumb.
Powered by pennzoil made by Hennessey If that ain't texan
I feel sorry for Hennessey's customers.
Smart man, he's right about the need for it to be an exclusive, limited run, for good reason... 311mph, it's a useless ability, it almost makes this car pointless beyond the initial hype, brand optics, and build experience. Other than an expensive suicide machine, there's really no reason to buy something like this. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy it exists, I love speed, I'm just thinking of the practicality of having that ability, and the price you pay is other areas to achieve it...and never get to use it in most cases. The fact that anyone can pilot such a dangerous machine as long as they have the money, is a bit scary too. Imagine some 65 year old businessman coming up behind you on the road with this, it's almost the same as someone pointing a gun at you...and lol@Mr.Hennessey, this is most definitely a "flex", a good one too.
I need Jeremy to review this
Hennessy venom f5 will fight the bugggati chiron sport
Bravo Hennessey ... you have just copy/paste Rimac C2
And part of the SSC Tuatara too
SSC says hii 😌
@Eunos Roadster 😁😁
SSC START CRYING
top speed war each year. in 2050, Hennessey will build 500 mph car
Can we PLEASE see this car dragracing against Ken Block's Hoonicorn over at the Hoonigan channel?!
Drag cars hit that speed n 3 seconds
Drag car hits 335mph n 3.6 seconds bgworld.info/section/video/m6zUpKZpnpqMlZU.html
is that gold , in the engine bay
Youp... I hope anyone who paid for it, will get it and be happy... Cause, ekhm, some things went wrong in the past...
Christian Koenigsegg: Hey John wanna race?
I see the grifter is still at it.
This man and Mr. Koenigsegg are putting greedy big money ppl like Bugatti and Ferrari to shame... for all their flash and fanciness, this car’s “basicness” in its design just puts them to shame 🇺🇸
I would have a bugatti over this anyday
why am i soo sus that this guy is on a green screen. just really sus of everything now tnx to ssc
This guy is a discount richard hammond
Jesko Absolut drag coefficient: 0,278 Venon F5 drag coefficient: 0,39
the interior design is really bland looks cheapo
Is anyone so sceptical because of the SSC topspeed record lie?
turismo r gta 5
24 is not enough. I want one.
It's the only Hennesey I've liked... But I still don't like it very much.
Looks like a cross between a Noble and a Corvette. Is there any interesting engineering in this or is it literally just that? Jazzy kit car
Just go to eralisen and race it there
9:46 to 47. the body work better not look like that on production model. you guys seriously cant refine the composit molds? that lazy? one an done??
You gotta be trained and obtain a special license to drive the car. That’s just insane.
Still would prefer a Chiron at any days, could even daily drive it while that thing probably only holds together a few miles
that's very inspired by ferrari
How much do you wanna bet this car maxs out at 270mph and they have to fake a record like hennessey
So light with a cast iron block.
Cant wait to see this engine in a supra
TEXAS MADE Super car...”Come and take it!” 😎🇺🇸🗽❤️
It looked like a hybrid of Ferrari and McLaren and Lotus......
Maybe fastest on paper 🤣🤣
So wheres the official 311mph run approved by Guinness??
Have they done it yet?
At least it’s not a shell car
It's kind of ironic when you think about it. Rich young boys will buy these 300 mph cars and never drive them over 200 mph. They will purchase them for bragging rights and to date Instagram girls looking for a sugar daddy.
I know a lot of people are wary of what John Hennessy can and cannot do to a high-performance car. Myself, I hope that this car becomes a reality and it becomes a true competitor in the hypercar genre. It's great to see Americans building really good fast cars.
Υπομονή και θα δείτε ποιο είναι το ποιο γρήγορο αυτοκίνητο....
I found it pretty funny that he compared the paddles to a bolt action rifle LOL he probably never shot a bolt action rifleXD
If I had the money to ever own a hyper car I would rather own that, than any other hypercar ever
Hey , I really dig those trainers you had on , what brand were they ?
Looks like a wide body Ferrari on steroids
I will aford this car InchaAllah
It should be called the Hennessey Enzo
There's a lot of Ferrari and lotus design in this car, but looking like a toy from an Easter egg, I mean the way basic shapes have been developed. This is not a negative statement, just a first sight sensation
if you had the money to buy one of these cars would you risk your life opening up to 300 mph? one thing goes wrong your probably going to die......just a thought, when your dead it makes no difference how much money you had cause you cant spend a single penny
With the reputation on a worldwide stage now, hopefully he’s got all the shenanigans out of his operation. I’m from Houston and part of the “aftermarket” world. I didn’t know his suspect handling of some customers was so well known all around the world.
This car looks like the turismo gt from gta
My £1500 motorbike will leave it for dead 0-100mph
Is all of this cars design taken from every kool euro car from the last 20yrs.....
Looks like a Ferarri.
The big boss is not John Hennessey,its Jeremy Clarkson,thank god he smacked that champagne sipping ,guardian reading woke BBC noob in the face,he will always be remembered,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Top Gear will never be the same,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ps,,,,,,dont pay your tv license
Show me what it can do. Don't tell me.
You drive that car around but you won't be able to get it out of first gear.
Lmao so many salty people in the comments
2.1 million. Whats my monthly payments? Say over 100 years lol
