A number of days in the past we posted concerning the tenth Hennessey Venom F5 buyer automotive being accomplished on the manufacturing facility in Sealy, Texas, and regardless of all 24 models of the Venom F5 Coupe having been offered out since 2021 and only some construct slots for the Venom F5 Roadster stay on the time of writing, you could be completely satisfied to be taught there’s something new across the nook … meet the 2023 Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution coupe!
First up some particulars, a twin-turbocharged V8 ‘Fury’ engine is fitted with an influence output of 1,817 bhp. It has been calibrated for monitor use, and the Revolution has been re-engineered for final efficiency each on the open highway and on the race monitor, and that is clear from the primary look you are taking. There are some severe aerodynamic modifications seen from each nook, additionally be aware the bespoke wheels and that stunning, and practical roof-mounted air consumption, hiding out of sight is a retuned suspension setup and digital monitor telemetry … all that is accessible at a beginning worth of $2,700,000 and as soon as once more manufacturing is restricted to only 24 models for all the world.
The Venom F5 Revolution Coupe is predicated on the Hennessey Venom F5 Coupe – the 2 share practically an identical DNA – but distinguishing the Revolution Coupe from its sibling are its comprehensively reworked aerodynamics, suspension, engine cooling, and digital telemetry. The engineering crew additionally targeted on lowering mass. Due to a scientific deal with weight discount, the race-honed mannequin suggestions the scales beneath 3,000 kilos – it’s the lightest Venom F5 mannequin.
Honed by Chief Engineer John ‘Heinrocket’ Heinricy, the Revolution capitalizes on each little bit of his 38 years of efficiency automotive growth with GM and his exemplary racing profession – Heinricy has greater than 240 skilled races below his belt, together with 35 grueling 24-hour races and a number of race/championship wins. He additionally holds three FIA Velocity Information and has over 1,000 laps of the Nürburgring to his identify.
John ‘Heinrocket’ Heinricy, chief engineer: “I led engineering on among the most excessive automobiles to come back out of GM, together with the Corvette Z06 and Cadillac CTS-V, however nothing compares to designing, creating, and refining a race automotive for the highway just like the Venom F5 Revolution. From the outset, we designed the Venom F5 hypercar to be ultra-light and monstrously highly effective, with dynamics to match. So, taking these elements and including track-focused aerodynamics, suspension, and gearing, enabled us to create a machine that’s the final visceral and emotional driving expertise.”
Mirroring all different Venom F5 fashions, mid-mounted within the carbon-fiber monocoque chassis is Hennessey’s celebrated twin-turbocharged, 6.6-liter, ‘Fury’ V8 engine rated at an astonishing 1,817 bhp. Energy is distributed to the rear wheels by a strong automated single-clutch gearbox calibrated for aggressive use. With such low mass, the Venom F5 Revolution Coupe guarantees phenomenal acceleration. Carbon-ceramic brakes are fitted as normal and have muti-piston calipers, guaranteeing fade-free stopping energy on the highway or circuit.
Most seen to these testing the Revolution Coupe is its full-width rear-mounted carbon fiber wing. The adjustable appendage (that permits the proprietor to regulate the angle of assault by a spread of levels) is fitted with finish plates that cease the high-pressure air on prime of the wing from spilling beneath – growing downforce with out extending the width of the wing. The top plates additionally generate vortexes that information airflow and enhance aerodynamics and stability. Because of this, the rear wing delivers greater than 800 kilos of downforce at 186 mph (300 km/h) and over 1,400 kilos of downforce at 249 mph (400 km/h).
A considerably bigger entrance splitter, crafted from carbon fiber, enhances the rear-mounted wing and rear diffuser. The entrance splitter prevents air from flowing below the F5 Revolution Coupe, which creates a low-pressure vortex beneath the car (aiding downforce). On the identical time, the prolonged rear diffuser guides air out from the hypercar’s clean underbelly. Dive planes, positioned on the entrance fascia in entrance of the wheels, aggressively channel airflow to shift the aerodynamic steadiness ahead – including grip to enhance turn-in. As well as, the Revolution includes a new roof-mounted central air scoop that delivers recent cool air to the F5’s engine bay, which successfully helps decrease part temperatures.
The double-wishbone suspension, with extra aggressive alignment settings, is fitted with adjustable dampers that could be calibrated trackside with easy instruments – thus optimizing the suspension system for the actual highway course, racing circuit, or monitor. As well as, new cast alloy wheels current a bigger contact patch for improved cornering grip and enhanced braking. Lastly, Venom F5 Revolution homeowners are provided a digital onboard monitor telemetry system able to measuring an array of knowledge factors. These embody lap occasions, splits, cornering G-forces, and extra. The system permits the motive force to watch the telemetry in real-time, or the info could also be saved for later evaluation or archiving.
John Hennessey, firm founder and CEO: “The brand new Venom F5 Revolution Coupe combines our excellent 1,817 bhp V8 ‘Fury’ combustion engine with our lightest and most succesful chassis. The hypercar, which is astoundingly quick, is at residence on a racing circuit the place utmost dealing with is paramount – it presents the nimbleness of a fighter jet, but with a powerplant like a Saturn V rocket!”
The Revolution Coupe is the third mannequin to hitch the Venom F5 household. Every of the 1,817 bhp variants shares the identical decathlete mission – uncompromised acceleration, braking, and dealing with – but all have been individually engineered for a particular mission. The F5 Coupe targets final prime pace, whereas the open-roof F5 Roadster delivers essentially the most visceral open-air expertise. The brand new F5 Revolution Coupe dials monitor efficiency to a wholly new degree.
The brand new Venom F5 Revolution Coupe will make its international public debut on the Miami Motorcar Cavalcade Concours d’Magnificence on January 15, 2023. Priced at $2.7 million and restricted to only 24 models, exclusivity is a given. Upfront of the official launch, lots of the Revolution fashions have already been offered to passionate hypercar followers. With solely a handful remaining, consumers could apply to personal a Venom F5 Revolution at HennesseySpecialVehicles.com. Alternatively, potential consumers can name Hennessey on +1 979.885.1300, or contact the corporate’s community of U.S. and worldwide retailers.
