John Hennessey he succeeded. The American tuner brought his new hypercar, the Venom F5up to the 219 mph barrier, or 350 km/h, a value reached in half a mile (800 metres) starting from a standstill.
This is an astonishing result for a combustion-engined car, which was immediately shared on social media and is causing a lot of discussion.
Verso i 400 km/h
The video posted on the official Hennessey Performance Instagram page shows the Venom F5 at Kennedy Space Centerwhich is NASA’s spacecraft launch facility at Cape Canaveral, in Floridastarting from a standstill with an acceleration that we could define as “burning”.
After a few moments the car reaches 1/8 of a mile and in 9.82 seconds surpasses the famous American “quarter mile”, with a top speed of 169.02 miles per hour, or 217 km/h.
Afterwards, the hypercar continues further to the middle mile, a measure equivalent to approximately 800 metersdistance from which it exits at 219.07 mph, or 350 km/h.
The video description states that the hypercar, equipped with the “Fury” V8 capable of developing a maximum power of 1.817 CV at 8,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 1617 Nm at 5,500 rpm, was driven by John Hennessey in person for that specific video, but that later the test driver David Donohue replicated the test reaching an even higher speed, of 221.92 miles per hour, or 357 km/hverified thanks to VBOX satellite telemetry.
