A remarkable 2023 Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster, the second of only 30 planned for production by Hennessey Special Vehicles, is up for auction. This exclusive supercar, delivered new to its current owner in 2023, is now making waves from its consignment on Bring A Trailer. The vehicle showcases an eye-catching Citrus Orange carbon-fiber body, housing a powerhouse 6.6-liter Fury V8 engine. With twin turbochargers and dry-sump lubrication, this engine boasts a staggering 1,817 horsepower, all channeled to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automated manual transmission.
The Venom F5 Roadster isn’t just about raw power; it’s also a marvel of engineering and design. Its carbon-fiber monocoque structure is adorned with cross-drilled and ventilated carbon-ceramic disc brakes, blue-painted calipers, and a sophisticated double-wishbone suspension system with adjustable Penske coilovers. The car’s aesthetics are equally impressive, featuring staggered-dimension forged alloy wheels, a removable carbon-fiber roof panel, and interior trimmings in Citrus Orange and black leather.
John Hennessey, the founder of Hennessey Performance Engineering, has been pushing the boundaries of high-performance vehicles since 1991. The Venom F5, named after the highest rating on the Fujita tornado scale, represents the pinnacle of the company’s ambitions to produce the world’s fastest production cars. This ambition is evident in the roadster’s lightweight construction, combining a carbon-fiber monocoque with aluminum alloy subframes and an array of aerodynamic features.
This particular Venom F5 Roadster, with just 537 miles on the odometer, is a collector’s dream. It comes with a unique “treasure chest” of memorabilia, including a key fob made from metal sourced from a space shuttle, a set of shot glasses, and more. The auction of this car not only offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive excellence but also highlights the extraordinary achievements of Hennessey Special Vehicles in the realm of hypercars.
