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. Contracted with Delta Motorsport of Silverstone, England for the development of the vehicle, this is Hennessey's first all new proprietary vehicle as an accredited titled manufacturer. Delta Motorsport also produced all of the previous generation Venom GT cars for Hennessey at its facility in England. The F5 name is a reference to the highest rating on the Fujita scale: F5, designated to tornadoes that have attained wind speeds as high as 261–318 mph (420–512 km/h).
Hennessey aims to reach top speeds in excess of 311 mph (500 km/h) to attain the title of world‘s fastest production car.
