Here is my Assumption Why The Hennessey Venom F5 Crashed at 250 MPH 

Koenigsegg makes very impressive cars, not only beautiful but also they're extremely capable and have some of the coolest engineering in cars today

*Is it possible we can gather more location/GPS data from a crypto-scam coin in order to see what caused the crash?*

This makes the MclarenF1 record of over 240mph, more than 25 years ago, all the more impressive.

You can listen to Martin Brundle telling his story of testing the jaguar xj220 at Nardo to achieve 220 miles per hour. When he came to a stop he had did it but the single metal hood latch had been put under so much force that the metal had stretched. In his own words, that latch was probably the only thing keeping me from losing all aero and taking off from the embankment and going into the Adriatic Sea.

After several 200+ mph runs in my SL65 I found that simply easing off the throttle and gradually increasing the brake pressure slows you down to a flawless stop. It takes no skill accelerating to 200+ if you have a car capable, but slowing down is a different beast.

3:10 to be fair to Pagani, they did have the Nürburgring record for a while with the Zonda R, but it doesnt really fall into a specific class. They can do performance though. The Huarya had the Top Gear top slot for a while too. I agree that they are still behind Ksegg in that department

I love how all of rob’s explanations are done in the second person like he’s explaining how you’re gonna brake safely at 250mph. Good to know before my afternoon commute

"For record, I'm a youtuber and someone in the comments will correct me." We've been trying to. 😢

There’s a huge amount of speed shaved off when the car leaves the ground because of the parachute effect of the belly up directly into the wind and there’s also a good amount of braking when a body panel hits the ground.. you’ve got the weight of the car pushing down into the body surface generating tons of friction.. the explanation seems completely plausible to me

At 250mph if you have 1-1.3 g of decel from your brakes it’s around 1700-2200 HP your brakes start to apply to slowing down the car. Pretty easy to see how it can go south .

The transition to braking would also increase the chassis rake which would help downforce so maybe brake or tire failure helped unsettle the car. Hennessey should get back on the horse and get back to his F5 testing and record setting. We want him to succeed.

Maybe the speed has something to do with it. I hope the 0-250-0 becomes the benchmark instead of just waiting for tire tech to improve to keep going faster top speed.

Shows how impressive it is the low drag jesko was to do the same thing without a fuss

It's because Hennesy are just a dumb tuner firm that put out shite cars that are just poorly tested tuner cars. They clearly have no idea about proper chassis, aerodynamics, braking etc.

Wonder of engineering explained will do a video on this.

I like the Hennessy Venom GT way way better than the f5. I get the f5 is a better car but there is just something about a twin turbo LS swapped custom lotus is just so sick. Man they got that car right.

Sorry , Hennessy has done some great cars over the years but he is punching way to high. I say that because the first venom was based on Lotus Elise and Exige, hacked together and honestly , its nice but not even close to on par or engineering of a koenigsegg or bugatti. If anyone has watched Christian V. K. walk through on how the Koenigsegg is built, the proprietary parts , patents and all they have done , the perfection , the tolerances and built from scratch, same as the bugatti and the money behind it, youll know that the venom has just had more and more HP pushed on it but it isnt even close to being as stable or secure as the other two. Hennessy is trying to punch way to many levels higher than he can do. Did they change the track at COTA? The top time for production cars was around 1:32 and the F5 was like 2:10. Something is up. Whats going on?

You really think anybody with enough money can just walk in and buy a new Koenigsegg?

The lift and drag is exponential to the speed that's why its so unpredictable its like unknown territory at 300 miles per hour for example.

Look at the Venom after the crash it looks like a Ferrari hit a curb😂

In April at COTA, MotoGP top speed was 217mph. Kinda fast.

He needs to hire some Porsche engineers or bmw engineers

My assumption is that it's an American motor vehicle

Did JH put all the parts you paid for, on the car. That could cause failure.

Koenigsegg has never been to the Nurburgring for any kind of world record attempt. The crash was on a completely normal day. Thy did not have the track to themselves. And they didnt have a bunch of staff and organisation there. Which they would if it was a record run.

Doing this at Kennedy I call bs I know I by there

Have any of you seen the view count after the scam video? Rough

Am I the only one who was way too close to the Camaro

Lmfao they got EMBARRASSED and SCARED 😂

Shiiiiiit, I’ve been coming in 2s and 3s most of my life.

Video or it didn’t happen

13 seconds in…. Disappointed we didn’t get the new intro😢

Dońt mess with Von Magic Koenigsegggggggg. They have the tech, they are more cool. But Hannesy can dress a dragter as a normal car and beat Chistian super car. But … I like more the cool tech and aero etc so …Chistian and his team are the Kings 😊

I'm a complete conservative democratic capitaliist but that these companies can build enough of these cars to call them production cars is obscene. People. If we want America to remain in one piece (the rest of the world too) we have to reduce the income inequality in our population. We have guys who can spend millions on a toy car and their employees who can't feed their children. My small town airport has in 30 years gone from having maybe one jet on the ramp on weekends to sometimes having 50 with maybe 50 more coming and leaving during the day. This is putting significant pressure on our society. This can't last. Hang on.

McLaren chief designer already stated this when asked why not push the speedtail past 250 mph? His answer it requires aerospace engineering & it’s very costly to do something no one really going to do in their own personal car.

Crypto rug pull

Mr Spaghetti talks about other chefs... and one's failed marinara sauce.

He must have stolen a faulty VSC module off a customer's car.

I mean, crashing at anything over 60 mph and not dying is a feat in its own. 250!? crazy crazy crazy

Doing crypto scams now huh

Hennessey is a super scammer. I wouldn't trust this guy with anything.

Maybe it has something to do with your crypto scam?

You're giving way too much credit to the eyewitness. I'm saying this based on how aviation accidents are investigated. NTSB, for example, ALWAYS takes eyewitnesses reports with a grain of salt. That's scientifically proven that people who witness extraordinary events have a huge tendency to exaggeration and/or making up a thing or two in their reports. So those 50 ft are as sus as they can be.

50' higher than those racing crashes. They were exagerating for effect.

Today Mr. Spaghetti explains why his meatballs are more aerodynamic than other meatball manufacturers. 😁

They go fast, but all of that Italian/ European designed vehicles are so dang ugly...!!!

I did 217 mph on the same runway. I was there when an Aventador crashed. There’s definitely more footage out there. This runway is 2.7 miles with 1 mile for braking. I have video of my runs on my channel.

Hennessey still "builds" cars out of wooden crates that have MADE IN ENGLAND written on the side of them. He still sells cars with no legal VIN / Chssis numbers, no airbags, no legalisation, and if you are weird enough to buy one, you get no paperwork. So please dont get these confused with production cars. SSC Tuatara, same deal. Except that one is built in Italy by a LeMans racing compmany. Also Hennessey, SSC, these guys are not gonna go and have special tyres, wheels, brakes, suspension made. They are gonna use whatever fits their budget and hope it holds.

Here's my assumption why Rob's RU-vid channel crashed after his crypto scam... It was the crypto scam

I was at a dinner for hypercar owners prior to Hennessey going to COTA. John was there as well as the SSC founder. The F5 mule tried out its antilag to impress the big crowds, and in doing so blew one of its own turbos. I think everyone thought it was going to catch fire. In the top gear review, the F5 mule stalled on them repeatedly trying to pull away from a standstill. I have a huge amount of respect for any American company that wants to compete in this space, but it is clear the Hennessey is a crude imitation of the others. I find it offensive and blatantly dangerous they want to sell such a poorly designed, overpriced product to customers. But hey, I guess there's always a market for it.

Cause it's actually crap

That kind of braking at that kind of speed the immense amount of change in forces is almost immeasurable.

I know when I would top off speeds on my motorcycle, hitting the brakes would make it shake.

garage updates?

My answer to this is because its an american car.... All they care about is speed and not development. I drove a mustang GT and i can understand why people crash them. The stock suspension os so bad

Delete the scam crypto video Rob.

SuperCryptoScamRob

You can drive anything in the US that passes state inspection, and if my twin turbo Z06 smokes it at a fraction of the cost, totally rebuilding an entire new car at x2 the price the next time will still be cheaper with no warranty. Don't tell me it's more streetable than a Koenigsegg if I'm worried about mileage and need a space ship runway to hit speeds I can do in Mexico

Yeah if the witness report is near-enough to what actually happened, I just know it pulled the CLK GTR Le Mans backflip

Tells it like it is. Few auto RU-vidrs doing this anymore. OG. Liked. + 250 mph and up territory is always very hairy. At this speed, Aero is almost a greater factor than grip. This obviously begs the question of how fast does it even make sense to attempt to try to go on pavement in conventional road-going cars. An interesting age of the illustrious 300mph benchmark nonetheless. Even if I had all that $$ to go that fast, I'm not sure if I would even want to!

I've only been over 150mph a few dozen times probably, usually on one of my previous bikes, fastest I've ever been was a GPS certified 198mph on my _very_ modified CBR1100XX (1200cc big bore, Web 270°/263° cams with APE cam sprockets, KW LW springs & titanium retainers, Yoshi tuned 41mm FCR Flatsides, AS Uotani ignition, TSR & Ladybird full titanium 4into1 exhaust & a bunch of TSR, Moriwaki, Magical Racing, A-Tech, & Coerce goodies) before the wind caught me from the side, took me 2 lanes over, and I let off before something let off in my underroos 😅 Other than that, and the occasional touch of that 150ish on other bikes not trying, the only other time I tried going "over 200" was in my buddy's '13 SRT Viper (blue with white stripes of course, he ran a Dodge dealership in Jersey and also owned a previous gen Viper, an '06 Coupe Vol 9 white with blue stripes and the previous gen '98 Champion Edition GTS-R coupe in white with blue stripes, oh, and an '05 short bed Commemorative SRT10 Ram, white with blue stripes 😅).... anyway, after my little trip down memory lane as they say, I was in his latest Viper at the time, picking it up as he was too drunk and left it down the shore and rode with someone else to get back, I got a ride down, picked it up, and proceeded to cruise my way up towards South Central Jersey, at about 173mph lol....if it wasn't for the traffic or cops, I would've attempted more, but I still eluded capture, pretty decent handling on that one, good thing it wasn't that truck I was picking up, that wouldn't have ended well 😅🤣😬

Flipping over twice at that speed scrubs off a lot of speed. Then it hit the ground, breaks apart and slides. Could be 100yrds or could be more. That doesn't matter. The first hand account does.

Good explanation, I bet you are right!

I'm not a fan of Hennessy the venom GT or his New car. I heard the venom GT was a dog to drive and is plagued with issues and I don't expect the F5 to be much better.

I knew all the speed claims Hennessey made were bull shiiittt. Not surprised.

All the buffs want it more now 😂

I,heard it was 83' in the air, flipped 40 times, landed on its tail, slid 350' upright, landed on all 4 wheels and the German judge only gave it a 6.5!

Can somebody give me the 411 on this crypto scam please!?!?

The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut has a pair of stabilization fins(that also help reduce drag) so I think fins similar to that or wings that provide a similar effect could help a lot in other designs.

Theres no video of this crash?

John Hennessy is a lot like what I would be if I were him and that's not a good thing

Hennessey dont even build that car's body in house, its a kit car.

Lets goo Koenigsegg

50 feet or did someone mean 15 feet?? Seems more plausible

250 mph an the car looks like that? Very impressive engineering

Holy crap, you sure love to hear yourself talk...

That Koenigsegg whip was full flex

Koenigsegg is still in a different league.

I would put my money on a tyre letting go

its called weight transfer.

I hope nobody was hurt

The car with the chute that flips 9:37 it should have been running a dual chute setup not single. Its speed was probably somewhere close to 200. Singles will create unstable rears.

I like John Hennessey - sticking big, powerful engines in small, light cars is a great recipe. Unfortunately once you get to a certain point it requires more than just adding bigger engines, bigger turbos and bigger brakes. The reason Bugattis and Koenigseggs cost so much more is because they are properly engineered and developed to be able to behave as they should with consistency and usability. Not knocking Hennessey but he's still at the level of having engines that aren't thermally stable (which doesn't really matter because you can't keep them flat out long enough to cook them in most places on Earth), aerodynamics which are ultra basic, chassis design from the ark and electronics which are about as advanced as a ZX spectrum. None of that is really a large problem until you want it to be able to get through the air at very high speed and also be stable. Thats where you need engineering at a level they just don't have access to. The interview with Hennessey, Murray, Rimac and Koenigsegg was insightful. Two of them were obviously engineers while the other two were more like enthusiastic amateurs.

Why don't they use hydraulics on front to lift car under heavy braking? It would keep car level or more level at least right? Maybe not, idk, just making a suggestion.

it'll take more road to break than to go past 200+ Going fast is the easiest, reaching and stopping safely is a different story. Everything on the car matters including aero, wind speed and where its coming from which i believe plays a big role.

Who is Mr. Spaghetti? Is it true he wants to be known as..Signore Leave the F5 an' take tha' Canoli?'

Did I miss what happened to that ultra low mileage, 1990 red C4 ZR1 that use to sit up in the background?

Thats so fast

Thank you for putting this into perspective bro! Love the channel. Idk why. It’s just you talking but informative! And interesting!

As an engineer that occasionally runs CFD I’d guess that rather than braking, I’d have to imagine this happened as a result of some sort of aero issue on the front. Either not enough, a failure or a bump that pushed the front up and got air under it and flipped it up into the air.

And that one line turned Pagani into an obsessed freak to be the best performing hypercar in the world lol

Now i understand, they just make a new record of flipping the car over Mercedes CLR.

Wow, the never -shown -before of exotic cars crashes that people are hiding, saying on how good they are

Looks like Hennessey is taking it to the next level... building airplanes

Living up to the f5 name by twisting like a tornado.

Thats some crazy turbo lag to kick in at 240!

"50' in the air" ? "your actual results may vary"

Mr. Spaghetti with the hot news today ❤
