The Hennessey Venom F5 is not just a sports car; its twin turbo V8 engine can muster more than 1,800 horsepower, almost twice that of a Formula 1 racing car. And yes, you can drive it on the street, for the cool price of $3 million. Correspondent Lee Cowan goes inside the design of a machine that shuns the mundane.

@seashackf1 26 дней назад

@@bloatedsodium7301 if you’re going to have it for 20years then there’s no point to a new one. In the long run 2-3 years old will be nothing in 15 years. But you’ll literally save thousands buying a 2-3 year old car. 2 years and 20k miles is still essentially a new car. That’s the time frame they lose the most value. Let somebody else take that hit.

@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle 28 дней назад

Not for all cases. As a fan of all modes of transportation, you should keep in mind that fast cars are a great way to see your relatives one last time shortly after you get a call about them being in critical condition. Check out Jeremy Clarkson's story about his dad. Of course this is all assuming you are close enough, driving too fast is very risky.

@gruppegee 27 дней назад

I never enjoy incomplete reporting... You failed to mention the history and myriad of legal issues, law suits and money lost by his customers surrounding his work over the decades. Hennessey's reputation among true enthusiasts is lacking, to say the least. Hennessy creates and markets cars on his site that are in many cases, yet to be offered to the market. He'll advertise he can modify the car to X amount of hp despite not having had one in his hands nor the car being for sale yet. More importantly he's blatantly overpriced comparative to other tuners in the segment for the same platform. His claimed HP numbers are always high and the cars performance never match the claimed numbers. He fashions himself as a modern day Carroll Shelby, he's no Shelby. It's great to have an American exotic car but he's not the best representation of it. SSC makes a great car, but has had some negative publicity as a result of a failed top speed attempt. But the product and reputation are stellar.
