Meet the world's fastest-ever convertible - the 1817bhp, 300mph Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution Roadster
founder Jon Hennessey, and like the $2.7m coupé has been created to crush lap records.
As such, the 'Fury' 6.6-litre V8 returns – with reworked cooling like the coupé track car – mid-mounted in the same carbonfibre tub. Power is sent to the rear wheels using the same seven-speed automatic gearbox, but this has now been calibrated for competitive use. With the Roadster, like its standard road-going namesake, the car has received a host of changes to keep it as competitive as the coupé. These are focused on generating more downforce, such as significantly larger front and rear splitters and dive planes on the front fascia.
Another example is that top, which comes in the form of a removable carbonfibre panel to keep it as light as possible. Weighing just 18kg, the panel is secured with four quick-release bolts and two high-strength latches to withstand the hypercar’s “staggering acceleration capabilities and aerodynamic forces at extreme speed”,the firm. Inside, it is lined in Alcantara upholstery pointing to the track car’s luxury positioning.
Hennessey also focused on stripping out the track-honed open-top, to make it, alongside its track sibling, the lightest Venom F5 variant yet. It weighs less than the 1360kg road-going models, although the firm wouldn’t confirm by how much or what was changed to make it lighter.
