Project Deep Space may be years away, but the Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution hypercar already set a new production road car lap record at the Circuit of The Americas (COTA) with a 2:10.90 lap of the 3.41-mile-long racetrack.
Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 6.6L V8 engine making 1,817 horsepower and 1,193 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 7-speed single-clutch, semi-automatic transmission with paddle shifters. The 2,998 pound hypercar easily tackled the technical track and corners, but where it really shone was the circuit’s straights, as it can accelerate from 0-200 kph (0-124 mph) in a mere 4.7 seconds.

Racing, and life, is often more about the journey than the destination. Seeing the Venom F5 take the production car lap record at our home circuit has been an important part of our journey with the F5. We don’t do these things because they are easy, we do them because they are hard. The process of pushing our American hypercar to the limits makes our team of engineers, designers, and technicians better while also delivering an enhanced product and experience to our clients,” said John Hennessey, company founder and CEO.
