Recent EV car 1/4 to 1/2= 168.12- 196.94MPH= 4.828 seconds

This car 167.60- 197.60MPH= 3.278 seconds

That's a MASSIVE difference once these cars grip and go.

4.828- 3.278 % equals= 38.2433% difference

Caveats

This car has to be tested fully, independently from 0-400km/h and beyond. How close they match the EV's from 0-300km/h remains to be seen. But it's not going to be a million miles away. After 300km/h, based on above, these hypercars are gone. Completley.

Because this car is generations ahead of previous car which was already monster.

More soon, I'm hearing things. Good things.

HENNESSEY CELEBRATES 10TH VENOM F5 HYPERCAR DELIVERY

Hennessey Celebrates 10th Venom F5 Hypercar Delivery | Hennessey Special Vehicles

Sealy, Texas (January 3, 2023) – Hennessey®, the Texas-based hypercar manufacturer, and high-performance vehicle creator, delivered a milestone 10th Venom F5®

www.hennesseyspecialvehicles.com

• Double-digit deliveries cap a successful year of Venom F5® development, manufacturing, and evaluations
• Latest client takes delivery of a metallic blue F5 Coupe at Hennessey Special Vehicles in Sealy, Texas
• Hennessey plans on delivering more than 20 Venom F5® hypercars in 2023

John Hennessey, company Founder and CEO: “Manufacturing a hypercar requires a team effort on a global scale, and I could not be prouder of our accomplishments. Each bespoke commission is visually stunning, an imaginative collection of colors and materials befitting a vehicle of this caliber. Our clientele is thrilled by the Venom F5® and simply astonished by its performance.”

The rate of manufacturing is increasing monthly, despite continuing supply chain challenges, and Hennessey expects to deliver more than 20 Venom F5® hypercars in 2023. The company, which has grown to more than 90 full-time team members when Hennessey Performance and Tuner School is included, plans to expand its manufacturing capacity further this year."

We'll take a closer look at some different angles as and when. Plenty to state and share!


(These are my FINAL Hennessey Venom F5 km/h USM

km/h= seconds

100= 2.99
200= 5.99
300= 10.99
400= 18.99
425= 21.99
450= 26.99
475= 34.99
500= 46.99

Top Speed NDA for now.)

Obvious caveats.

I didn't think it even conceivably possible that the "other" US hypercar could be rivalled from a asethetics point of view, let alone from another US production hypercar.

But, after taking on board a conversation I had elsewhere I can absolutely see what the aficionado was trying to state! It's a gorgeous car and one that grows with time! In agreement with them there. Absolutely.

So, a few months ago I started relinquishing a very tight grip I had on Project "Washington" shall we call it, LOL!

I'll never truly walk away but I get tempted. Anyway over time I built up a little list of tools I used in my research. I shared them before and elsewhere and they went down a storm.

So~

A frame by frame counter counter and it's exceptionally accurate. Very simple to use!

I didn't think that blue one would bested let alone topped so quickly. Look at the red one!

I was tracking the different builds but I completely lost it, GOOD because they've absolutely ramped up production.

By EOY in total, it could breach 35!

Hennessey Venom F5 2022 review | Evo

Its sights firmly set on the far side of 300mph, we get an early drive in the sensational, 1817bhp Venom F5. Deep breath…

1.50 minutes forwards. It's the petrol blue one! Has a 1/4 mile launch too but it didn't look the cleanest I've ever seen! Still very early days.

John Hennessey's Venom F5 has come a VERY long way indeed!?

So I'm trialling different methods and techniques and completely new platforms. They might not embed unfortunately quite like YouTube does (or may I'm possibly unaware I tried this two minutes ago!)

Anyway the above video shows just how far John Hennessey's Performance Division has come. Sharing retail floor space at a dealers with Bugatti. Not just any Bugatti but a Divo no less!

And finally this will in time occur here too in the United Kingdom, as Bugatti London UK are also known as Hennessey London or UK and they CONFIRMED this car is fully homologated for the United Kingdom etc. NOTHING FURTHER!

"The car we’ll be driving has done the bulk of high-speed testing. To date that’s more than 40 runs at over 250mph on a runway in Florida. Even at this speed the F5 is just hitting its stride. By the end of this year Hennessey is hoping to have discovered just how fast it can go: ‘Our engineers believe that with our power figure, drag coefficient and frontal area the theoretical top speed is 328mph. I’m not aiming at that figure, but if we could maybe do a one-way run at 500kph (a fraction under 311mph) and achieve a two-way average of comfortably more than 300mph, then great. We know from past experience with the GT, and Bugatti hitting 304 one-way with the Chiron Super Sport, that people will throw rocks at you if you don’t post a two-way average. Whatever you claim, it has to be irrefutable, whether that’s with Guinness overseeing things, or VBOX validating your speeds."

40 plus runs at over 250MPH, perfectly plausible as they've been to Kennedy Space Centre on atleast 3 separate occasions, means in terms of preparation from the evidence presented or atleast claimed they are, Hennessey Special Vehicles and the Venom F5 are, incredibly well prepared.

Time will tell if the car can achieve what they deserve and desire.

Very nice!

Here you go man my man @rana65556 has somehow managed to get a drive. Very impressive what Hennessey Special Vehicles are doing here in the United Kingdom, so far!

Just one thing though those computer generated or simulated performance claims are absolute nonsense. But they're welcome to prove us wrong! LOL!

The interview is nearly TWO hours long! Indicated. "1.48".

And I know for a fact it'll be straight talking/shooting from John Hennessey, always is. The last time I listened to one I learned alot. But few people have the patience which is fine.

At least he does these things unlike others I could mention! Washington "bois".
