So, SEXY METRIC'S visits Sealy in Texas and Hennessy Special Vehicles and the MONSTER that is the Venom F5!
CAVEATS
The figures are MY "stock" production hypercar figures to 400km/h calculated over a year a ago. I think nearer to eighteen months ago when I initially started the base numbers. HOW I did this is detailed elsewhere in terms of the processing.
ABOVE 400km/h the figures are MY calculations from about twelve months ago based on the MPH figures for the original Hennessey Venom F5 metrics which are then converted to km/h and then ROUNDED to the very nearest .99 seconds.
These are then refined further through a "reality engine". This is strictly NDA.
And finally these are NOT the absolute quickest the car can manage, more a "midding" point. They could be reasonably accurate or not, I don't give a toss it's the exercise of involvement I'm more interested in. Not absolute accuracy.
km/h in seconds
100= 2.99
200= 5.99
300= 10.99
400= 19.99
425= 22.99
450= 29.99
475= 40.99
500= 52.99
Copyrights.
Kennedy Space Center= 489km/h @46.99 seconds POSSIBLY indicated but this would require a FULL ON launch and traction controlled 0-490km/h productions run. This will unlikely happen.
SO it's in gear point to point I'll eventually look at and at speeds approaching and 500km/h above 400 km/h a +/- 2 seconds variation is absolutely acceptable.
And that's it, revisions and changes or a complete rewrite are at MY sole discretion and ANY time with NO notice necessary.
In the meantime:
Sexy Metrics Secretary. Or SMS, LOL!
Get used to the view in 2023. SSC North America have had THREE years. Hennessey and Koenigsegg are coming.

Here's my problem with the Venom F5. It (just like the Tuatara) has not undergone homologation, EPA testing or any of that and is not a road legal car. Hennessey isn't even a registered manufacturer and they do not have their own WMI. So it really peaked my interest when I saw a customer car in Chicago had a plate on it. I attempted to put this plate through numerous Plate - VIN websites and majority would say "Invalid plate" or "Invalid VIN" however I found one that returned the VIN "HSVVNMF5CP0622003". Which is not a valid VIN and does not follow the North American VIN requirements. For example the 9th digit is supposed to be the "check digit" which is done by a mathematical formula and can only be numbers 1-9 or the letter X. However in this vin the 9th digit is a "C" which is not legit and does not follow the North American VIN standards. Another example is the 10th digit in the VIN which designates it's model year. In the given VIN the 10th digit is the letter "P" which is for the 1993 model year... It is clear to me that this car is likely registered as a Kit Car as it is not been approved for the Show or Display exemption, and even if it does get approved it will need to pass EPA testing which I have serious doubts about.

"Is the Hennessey Venom F5 the World’s fastest car?
Lex Kristan
Hennessey is known for modifying high-performance sports cars to make them even faster, but its latest venture has blown all others out of the water. A sequel to the incredible Venom GT, the Texas-built Venom F5 is faster than the Bugatti Chiron and has the price tag to match.
As a manufacturer, Hennessey’s mission is to attain the title of "world’s fastest production car", and they may have done just that. The Hennessey Venom F5 coupe sold out almost immediately upon its release in 2021, but that’s not stopped Auto Trader’s Rory Reid from getting behind the wheel and showing off its power in our latest video.
How fast is the Hennessey Venom F5?
Hennessey claims the Venom F5 Roadster is "the world’s fastest and most powerful convertible," and is capable of smashing 300mph. Producing 1,800 horsepower, the Venom F5 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.6-litre V8 engine, and is capable of achieving a 0-300km/h time of 10 seconds flat.
How much is the Hennessey Venom F5?
Only 24 were built, so it’s no surprise that the 2021 Venom F5 Coupe sold for £1.5 million each. Unfortunately, every unit was snapped up almost immediately after going on sale, but Hennessey are releasing their 2022 roadster this winter and it’s expected to sell for around £3 million."

One of them absolutely yes. Certainly a bad ass one.

Evo Magazine UK give the Hennessey Venom F5 a FIVE STAR rating!😲
Very small extracted quote>"What’s surprising about the F5 is it’s actually very easy to drive slowly. Final-stage fine-tuning of the transmission calibration will iron out the remaining rough edges, but in general it’s super-impressive how this ferocious 1800bhp machine happily copes with the low-speed demands of photo shoots. Trundling around Millbrook’s twisty Alpine Route doing car-to-car photography almost feels like an insult for a car aiming at the far side of 300mph, but not only does the powertrain feel happy to dawdle, but oil and water temperatures remain entirely unflustered in the unusually high ambient temperatures experienced during our test."

Let me know when SSC North America achieve that. FFS!
