For years, Hennessey has been trying to beat Bugatti and others to create the world’s fastest production car, and now it’s claiming the Venom F5 will get it there. Built around a U.K.-built carbon-fiber tub weighing only 192 pounds and a mid-mounted turbo V-8 named “Fury,” the Venom F5 is claimed to have a zero-to-62-mph time of 2.6 seconds and a top speed above 311 mph. John Hennessey told C/D that although the company will produce one or two more cars after this, the F5 is meant to remain the brand’s top performer.
