The Venom F5 Evolution has just redefined what’s possible for a gas-powered street car. Packing an impressive 2.059 horsepower
As the automotive industry moves towards an electric future, a Hennessey Special Vehicles bet on the evolution of combustion engine. In partnership with Ilmor Engineering, the company developed the world's most powerful production internal combustion engine, generating an impressive 2.059 horsepower.
Unprecedented power
The new engine is part of the Evolution package, which costs US$285.000 (about R$1.668.760), amount charged separately from the vehicle.
The package is compatible with existing Venom F5s and brings several upgrades. Among them are oval pistons designed from Ilmor, titanium exhaust valves, lightweight valve covers and aluminum connecting rods.

The extra power is made possible by Precision 76/80 Next Gen turbochargers and high-flow fuel injectors. In addition to the 2.059 horsepower, the engine “fury” delivers an impressive 200 kgfm of torque.
Breathtaking performance
With a seven-speed automated manual transmission and single clutch, all the engine's power is sent to the rear wheels. Hennessey has stuck with rear-wheel drive to ensure a more visceral and direct driving experience.
The Venom F5 Evolution's acceleration is impressive. According to the company, the car reaches 320 km/h in just 10,3 seconds.
For comparison, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport accomplishes the same feat in 12,1 seconds, while the Rimac Nevera needs 10,9 seconds.
Aerodynamic improvements
The F5’s aerodynamics have also been improved. Under the guidance of expert Dr. Mark Handford, known for his work in Formula 1 and IndyCar, the Venom F5 Evolution has received a redesigned front splitter, new underbody spoilers and louvres on the front wheel arches.
Another highlight is the Gurney Flap added to the rear spoiler, increasing stability at high speeds. These adjustments aim to maximize performance and safety at extreme speed.
In addition to the brutal performance, the Evolution package brings items to increase occupant comfort. There is the option of carbon fiber drink holders, Touring seats with additional reinforcement and a new Touring exhaust system.
With these improvements, Hennessey shows that, even in times of electrification, there is still room for the evolution of combustion engines.
