Hennessey Performance, the manufacturer of the Venom F5 hypercar, faced a setback during high-speed tests at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The prototype was testing a new aerodynamic setup when a downforce issue led to the driver losing control. Fortunately, the driver escaped uninjured, showcasing the vehicle’s strength and safety despite the harrowing experience. The Venom F5, with its 1,817 horsepower and $2.1 million price tag, boasts impressive performance figures and sold out its 24-unit allotment. A track-tuned variant, the Venom F5 “Revolution” Coupe, offers even more enhancements for a cost of $2.7 million. Hennessey plans to investigate the aerodynamic data to understand the root cause of the incident, reaffirming the risks and challenges that come with chasing speed records in the hypercar and supercar realm.
