The Hennessey Venom F5 is a sports car developed and manufactured by the American vehicle-manufacturing company Hennessey Special Vehicles which was established in 2017.[5] Hennessey has contracted with Delta Motorsport of Silverstone, England for the development of the vehicle, which will be the company's first all new proprietary vehicle as an accredited titled manufacturer.[6][7] Delta Motorsport also produced all of the previous generation Venom GT cars for Hennessey at its facility in England.[8]
The F5 name is a reference to the F5 tornado, the highest rating on the Fujita scale, attaining wind speeds as high as 261–318 mph (420–512 km/h).[9] Hennessey as a manufacturer aims to reach top speeds in excess of 311 mph (500 km/h) to attain the title of world‘s fastest production car.[10][11][12]
