Hennessey's 2,031-HP Monster Completes Final Testing

Texas-built brutality just reached its final form. Hennessey's Venom F5 Evolution has completed its testing phase with numbers that make physics itself seem negotiable.

2,031 horsepower. From an internal combustion engine. No hybrid assistance. No electric motors. Just pure, unfiltered, apocalyptic power from a 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V8.

The "Fury" engine now makes 300 more horses than the standard F5, courtesy of upgraded turbochargers and engine internals that must be forged from whatever they make Thor's hammer from.

Breaking Physics and Probably Several Laws

Zero to 200 mph happens in 10.3 seconds. That's not a typo. Most family sedans take longer to reach 60.

Hennessey didn't just bolt on bigger turbos and call it a day. The Evolution's aerodynamics received a comprehensive overhaul:

  • Redesigned front splitter generating significantly more downforce
  • New underbody wake deflectors improving high-speed stability
  • Mode-adaptive suspension that transforms the car from track weapon to something resembling a civilized machine

The F5 Evolution's carbon fiber body makes the car almost weightless by hypercar standards.

For the One Percent of the One Percent

Production caps at 99 units globally. Each one handcrafted in Sealy, Texas, where they apparently have a portal to another dimension where the laws of physics are merely suggestions.

Available in both Coupe and Roadster configurations. Because nothing says "sensible driving experience" like 2,031 horsepower with no roof.

America's Middle Finger to Electric Hypercars

While the world pivots to electric performance, Hennessey doubled down on internal combustion. This isn't the last gasp of the V8 – it's a thermonuclear explosion of everything that makes gasoline-powered cars intoxicating.

The F5 Evolution exists in that rarefied air where performance numbers become almost theoretical. Few owners will ever experience its full capability. Fewer still will have the skill to control it.

But it exists. And for that, the petrolhead world should be grateful.
