The Venom F5 Evolution, The World’s Most Powerful Gasoline Street Car, Has 2,059 Horsepower and Reaches 320 Km/H in Just 10.3 Seconds

The Venom F5 Evolution Has Just Redefined What Is Possible for a Gasoline-Powered Street Car. Equipped with an Impressive 2,059 Horsepower

While the automotive industry moves toward an electric future, Hennessey Special Vehicles bets on the evolution of internal combustion engines. In partnership with Ilmor Engineering, the company developed the most powerful production internal combustion engine in the world, 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), a fee charged separately from the vehicle.

The package is compatible with existing Venom F5s and brings various upgrades. Among them are oval pistons designed by 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 retained rear-wheel drive to ensure a more visceral and direct driving experience.

The acceleration of the Venom F5 Evolution is impressive. According to the company, the car reaches 320 km/h in just 10.3 seconds.

For comparison, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport achieves the same feat in 12.1 seconds, while the Rimac Nevera needs 10.9 seconds.

Aerodynamic Enhancements

The aerodynamics of the F5 has also been improved. Under the guidance of expert Dr. Mark Handford, known for his work in Formula 1 and IndyCar, the Venom F5 Evolution received a redesigned front splitter, new deflectors at the bottom of the car, and shutters in 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 speeds.

In addition to the brutal performance, the Evolution package brings items to increase occupant comfort. There is an option for 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.
